A cat popped up on the classifieds that happened to be located in Memphis. I had never heard of the name Aroaring so I went and checked it out. Hoping to add it to my archive of the "dead boat society" members.

It seems to have a mix of modern design elements with old school wooden rudders and daggers. Big volume symmetrical hulls but no rigging for a jib. Apparently single trap rigged.

Couldn't find any HIN but here are the dimensions.

Length on deck 17 feet 8 inches
Beam at deck 7 feet 5 inches
Mast length 29 feet
Mainsail bolt rope 21 feet 10 inches
