Anyone recognize this gaff-rigged Catboat?

It was sailing into the launching ramp in our harbor at the beginning of the season. Looks like you could fly a jib.

Might be a Marshall, but they all look similar to me! Maybe not a Marshall without a porthole. Purty boat.

There's a whole world of Cat Boats. It reminds me of a Beetle Cat I sailed at the Mystic Seaport Museum (You can rent boats to sail or row - how cool is that)! The low freeboard in the stern seems familiar. But they didn't have a bow sprit.

This I believe is a Crosby catboat. It is entering Cotuit Bay, only a mile or so from the Crosby Boatyard.
