Felix is a custom 37 foot composite wood catboat. She is based on the designs of early 1900's Barnegat Bay Catboats. But Felix is far from traditional in form and function. She is the largest Catboat known on the East coast and the builder has included some very high-tech design elements like solid Ash & Cedar Composite Hull, Carbon Fiber Rudder, Marconi rig with carbon fiber spars, Technora laminated main & Jib and a hydraulic propulsion system that raises into the hull when not in use. Her very wide 14' beam enables Felix to carry a tall 1000 sq ft sail plan and no ballast while displacing only 8,500 lbs! Felix is an absolute thrill to sail! This combination of stability, speed and comfort is unmatched even by much larger vessels.
Felix is powered by a S3-L to Westerbeke diesel generator which runs the AC components, charges the DC batteries and also powers the hydraulics. She is fitted with Garmin chartplotter, West Marine VHF, hot-cold pressure water, Raritan "Electrosan" with Lavac head & Shower, HVAC system and other modern amenities in a comfortable cabin. Felix has just returned from her 2022 refit including all new paint inside and out. She is ready to go and available to see by appointment in Oriental, NC. Please see all the details including inventory list, photos, video and 360 photos in the full listing below, and check out the great article on Towndocks.net linked below.
