At the other end of the spectrum from yesterday's schooner is this Halsey 
Herreshoff designed 18-footer, the Herreshoff America Catboat.  Cats are a 
classic American design and were originally workboats in New England and on 
the Chesapeake.  

This shot was taken within minutes of yesterday's schooner picture.  The 
America is standing up well to the same 15-20 knot breeze and short chop 
driving the schooner.
