The present book focuses on a twenty-eight foot wooden Catboat called Ghost.
She belongs to a class of boats unique to Barnegat Bay 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 Beaton and Sons built Wasp, a new A Cat, following plans dating to 1923.
Ghost was Beaton's second A Cat and was an immediate success.
