12 Foot Catboat

12 Foot Catboat
Designed by Edson Schock - Circa 1940's

Follow me as I build a 12 foot catboat from plywood and pine. The boat was designed by Edson Schock in the 1940's. This is a project born of a desire to have another boat to sail here in Puerto Rico that will stand-up to the Trade winds. The sail plan will be changed to a gaff rigged sail. All the lumber is locally bought and pine will be substituted for oak, which is not readily available here. Marine plywood will be used.

Setting the Centerboard Box on the Keel

Today was a big event, placing the centerboard into the slot and making it permanent.

I began by drilling the holes for the bolts that will hold the box to the keel.
