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.

Setting the 1st Chine Strip

Some jobs are not very large but present their own set of unique challenges. The setting of the strips is a difficult job mostly for the complexity of the angles where the strips meets the stem or front of the boat. It took 2 cuts and a bit of fine tuning but I managed to get it fastened into the stem, as well as frames 1 & 2!
