MARAUDEUR 



This 16-foot centerboard sloop is the smallest boat among our cruising 

 classes and is a typical camping cruiser in which two people can sleep in 

 a completely enclosed cabin. Designed by J. J. Herbulot and constructed 

 in France of lightweight African mahogany, the Maraudeur will plane un- 

 der favorable conditions. The boats are imported by the Nautica Corpora- 

 tion (P. O. Box 26, Paramus, N.J.), which reports that thirteen hundred 

 have been built— by Cidevyv. 



The boats have a combination keel-centerboard and, it is claimed, can 

 go to windward in sixteen inches of water. This is a stock boat in France's 

 largest boatyard and thus it can be sold cheaply, as the price indicates— 

 it is the cheapest on our list of cruising classes, as well as the smallest. The 

 Maraudeurs have flotation safety and roller reefing of both mainsail and 

 jib which can be controlled from the cockpit. 



While this isn't a boat for an extended cruise by adults, it provides 

 enough overnight accommodation for a father and a couple of "kids," if 

 they don't expect the unreasonable. 



Price is $1425 with sails. Mattresses are extra.

 ment including keel ballast 440 lbs.; trailable. 



MARLIN and FISH CLASS 



The success of the Bull's Eye (the modern fiber-glass, Marconi-rigged 

 version of the original Herreshoff 12) encouraged the Cape Cod Ship- 

 building Company, makers of the Bull's Eye, to bring out a fiber-glass ver- 

 sion of the Nathanael Herreshoff Fish class. The Fish class was an en- 

 larged 12 with roomier accommodations and a small cuddy forward. The 

 Cape Cod Marlin was built from molds of the Fish class with a cabin in 

 which two can sleep and added length, obtained through an extension of 

 the stern above the waterline to enable her to carry a modern masthead 

 Marconi rig with a permanent backstay. Aluminum spars were added with 

 roller reefing gear on the boom.
