Today, we finished adjusting the pattern for the bottom panel, Things went so well (thanks to Terri's help) that we cut the 1st bottom panel out and made some minor adjustments to make sue it met the keel properly.
There is still a lot to do. Tomorrow, we will begin to lay out where the frames are so we can drill pilot holes for the screws and nails.
The panel sits nicely and is another big accomplishment towards finishing her!
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.
