12 Foot Catboat

12 Foot Catboat
Designed by Edson Schock - Circa 1940's

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.

Bottom is done!

We got going early on getting the 2nd bottom panel in place and it came out great!

There are a few things that will need to be taken care of like putty over the screw heads and fiber-glassing the seams, sealing and painting the hull. Then we will turn the hull over to finish her off!
