Boat of the Month, 2021.

- Once in a while, I pick a boat or a boat design that I think is interesting and worthwhile to present, study and publish.

- This is the case for "Away"; a Cat-Schooner with free standing rig. Designed by Michael Pope, who also built the boat.

- I received from him a very comprehensive dossier and I am taking some of his comments for this presentation.



- You immediately notice the treatment of the stern, ending in a fish tail, with a well in between two transoms. This configuration is to deal with dinghy stowage, allowing you to drive, with all aboard into the hull.


- The boat herself, is 44' Long with a Waterline of 42' and a Beam of 10.2'. The light Displacement is 15,000 Lbs.
