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.

Fiberglassed and Sealed

Received the 4" fiberglass tape I needed to finished glassing the seams and finished that off quickly. I decided to go ahead and put the sealant on the bare plywood to stop it from cracking and splintering.

I will lay tape out for the waterline and get ready to paint the sides white and put a coat of copper paint on her over the next few days.
