US WOODPUSSY CLASS ASSOCIATION
The WoodPussy is a classic 13½’ catboat designed by the famous designer Philip Rhodes in mid-1940’s. It was originally built in wood but builders soon made the WoodPussy one of the first day sailors produced in fiberglass (mid 1950’s). Approx. 75 of the original WoodPussys still survive. An evolution developed in the 1960’s as wooden spars were replaced with aluminum. With a 6' beam, 130 sq. ft. of sail, and a modern Marconi rig, the WoodPussy combines the qualities of a comfortable day sailor and an exciting racer. In light to moderate air, it is an easy-to-sail, stable boat that can comfortably accommodate four adults and a cooler for a day or evening outing.

The USWPCA is the national class association for the WoodPussy class sanctioned by US Sailing (national governing body for sailing in the USA).

The USWPCA assists both young and old to experience the joys of sailing a WoodPussy, recreationally and competitively. We will gladly help you buy a WoodPussy (new or used) and also help locate potential buyers when you wish to sell your boat. Perhaps most importantly, we welcome you to a friendly bunch of sailors who are passionate about our class and always willing to help anyone become a WoodPussy sailor... Come Join Us!
