The MerryMac is a hard-chined, free standing, marconi rigged catboat comprised of a halyard and a mainsheet that is easily rigged and managed by sailors of all skill levels.

MerryMacs are 13’6” long, 5’ wide, draw less than six inches of water, carries 100 square feet of sail, and are the epitome of simple sophistication.

Comfortably sailed by one person or with multiple passengers, the boat’s 20-foot mast was carefully designed to be handled by both male and female sailors. The mainsail can be reefed from a seated helmsman position.

MerryMacs beautifully balance form and function. Designed by Ned McIntosh with an eye towards both ease of use and maintenance of the vessel, its limited number of components decreases the potential for problems on the water and limits the need for maintenance. Its straightforward design makes the joy of sailing accessible to a wide audience without compromising performance on the water.

MerryMacs are unique in that the open cockpit allows those aboard to sit inside the boat, reserving the side deck and rail for when the wind or the competition is up. This affords the comfort, performance and safety of a real cockpit, which is unusual in a small boat. The open layout of the cockpit makes the space versatile for different configurations of passengers and gear, which again enhances performance and safety.
