Looks a lot like a G-Cat, but the beams are not quite right, unless it's a model I haven't seen.

Interesting indeed, the hull shape looks g-cat, but lots of details don't, could have been modified over the years. It has deck mounted jib traveler and that doesn't look like a front tramp setup, bow beam is too small and set below the deck. Also the main tramp isn't connected like G-Cats and it appears to be vynal. Rear beam doesn't look right either. Compare to this G-Cat 5.0 below.

Could be an early/late model or a frankenboat assembled from G-Cat hulls.

i dont think it is a g-cat, doesn' have deck lids, tramp lacing holes in those lids, the freeboard looks to long, etc... etc

I sent a pic to Hans, we will see what he says

Agreed, it doesn't look like the G's iv'e seen. Except for the hull shape. Decks and beams are different.

That's not a G-cat...

Mine doesn't look anything like that,
Beams are different and is missing the hull ports
Rudders are different and There is a jump up in front of the beam,
The G-cat doesn't have that.

I believe that is a G-Cat 5.0 first year of production. They orignal G-Cat 5.0 had a step deck like that. Later they were changed to a level deck. The same style as Han,s sailed to Mexico on as a publicity stunt for the G-Cat. But as my wife has told me before, I could be wrong.
