19' Menger Catboat

One of the last Menger 19's built, she is the perfect pocket cruiser and trailer sailor. The cabin has sitting headroom for a 6' 8" person, and the bunks measure 10 feet so there is ample room for you to sleep. The cockpit is large enough for eight people to sit comfortably. With all lines leading back to the cockpit, the boat is easily single-handed. Her shallow draft allows access to many anchorages unavailable to other cruisers. With a trailer and a tabernacle folding mast (easily raised by one person), your cruising range is unlimited.
