2011 Custom Cat Ketch

Learning Curve is a 2011 custom cat ketch built from mahogany plywood and epoxy, with oak and solid Douglas fir masts. Designed by Karl Stambaugh, the 24-foot wooden sharpie was hand-built by its owner and combines traditional construction methods with modern marine materials.

The boat carries a 9.9 hp Lehr propane outboard for auxiliary power and achieves a cruising speed of 5 knots under sail. Maximum speed reaches 7 knots. An 8-foot beam provides stability across the water.

A single-axle trailer is included with the yacht.
