BRECK MARSHALL is a 20' Cape Cod catboat, designed by Crosby and built in 1987 by Mystic Seaport staff. In building her, Barry Thomas and his assistants, Bret Laurent and Clark Poston, looked at all the existing plans and Crosby boats they could find. They wanted one that was modeled without an engine in mind, and they settled on measuring the circa 1900 working cat TRYPHAENA which had considerably more V shape to her hull at the stern than did later models. Her spar dimensions were taken from a 1905 Crosby sail plan. From 87 Boat Designs by Ben Fuller. Plans drawn by Mystic Seaport staff in 1985 through 1987.
