  Catboat
Although any boat with a single sail and a mast carried well forward is 'technically' a catboat, the traditional catboat has a wide beam approximately half the length of the boat, a centerboard, and a single gaff-rigged sail.
It is generally accepted that the origin of the catboat type was in New York around 1840 and from there spread east and south as the virtues of the type - simplicity, ease of handling, shallow draft, large capacity - were discovered.
Around the turn of the 19th century, catboats were adapted for racing, and long booms and gaffs, bowsprits and large jibs were fitted to capture as much wind as possible.

 Fenwick Williams Catboat in Cedar Strip - Michael Storer Boat Design
This particular project was undertaken as a partnership between David Wilson and Winemaker Rob O'Callaghan of Rockford's Winery (champion of old vines in the Barossa and the wonderful Basket Press Shiraz).
The catboat has taken several years in the building as more urgent work kept being put to the top of the queue, but this is a real "Gold Plater" as Phil Bolger would say, or a special vintage in Rob O'Callaghan's language
Everything is simple, which is appropriate given the workboat background of Cape Cod Catboats, but it all works very well indeed.
