    I bought Catspaw this summer in Port Clinton, Ohio, and sailed her back to Montreal.
    Catspaw had originally been sold to a man from Michigan, but her next owner, Mac, bought her in soon after.
He owned her for 32 years - as he says, "I raised my kids on that boat". He took great care of her, as you can see, and she is in sound original condition. We fitted her out together, and Mac came with me for the first part of the 600 mile sail  back to Montreal.
