I just finished reading Catboat Summers by John Conway.  It is a family story about the restoration of an early 1900;s wooden 23 foot Catboat and the subsequent summers of sailing around the East Coast.  It relates how the family grew up sailing "Buckrammer" during summers at the shore beginning in 1993. Really enjoyable read about our cat style boat.  I heartily recommend it for some light reading.  Sail On Catboats...  AL
