Synopsis "From Beaton’s to Beach Haven"

The present book focuses on a twenty-eight foot wooden Catboot called Ghost. She belongs to a class of boats unique to Bornegat Boy in New Jersey. The class originated in 1922 and by 1924 was recognized as a racing class under the name A Cat. The class was seriously affected by the Great Depression, but it survived and began a renaissance in 1980, when David Beoton and Sons built Wasp, a new A Cat, following plans dating to i923. Ghost was Beaton’s second A Cat and was an immediate success. Not only did she win seven consecutive Bay championships, 1994-2000 but also exhibited extraordinary craftsmanship. We might say that Ghost was and remains a paradigm of excellence in the construction oi wooden boats. Happily the building process was photographed in detail and is now recorded in book form. Photos paired with explanation take the reader from making patterns and preparing the woodshop to a celebratory launch at Beaton’s rigging dock. That is followed by an account of Ghost’s initial disaster on the race course, a remarkable recovery and then twenty-two years of continuous competition. What made Ghost fast on the race course and what did not work are recorded for the reader’s consideration. The conclusion focuses on Ghost’s new home at the New Jersey Maritime Museum.
