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.

Copper Bottom Paint

Painted the bottom with copper anti-fouling paint because this boat will be in the water most of the year. Went on well and did not smell as bad as I feared.

Bought some wood to build a cradle to turn her over and 1/2 plywood to fabricate the rudder and centerboard.
