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.

Mounting the side coamings was hot, sweaty work because they were rather thick (7/8", a bit thicker than the nominal 3/4" I was expecting!). After some persuasion, I got the side ones into place and mounted the forward coaming.

They will be cut down to conform to the lines of the deck and give a more unified appearance.

For now, I am going to concentrate on getting the mast support in between frames 1 & 2 at the deck level so OI can start getting the deck into place.
