12 Foot Catboat

Building a 12 Foot Catboat

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.

2nd Chine Strip

Put the 2nd of 4 strips in to the frames to give the entire frame assembly stiffness and have a place to land and anchor the plywood sides and bottom pieces.

The next 2 strips will be about the same but now that I have a "system" for installing them, it should go fairly easy!
