Pascagoula Diamond Bottom Catboat MARGARET ROSE 01 Jun 20 Sheer Line and Skeg

01 Jun 20:

Played around with the sheer line for the catboat, gave her a little reverse curve aft of the beam.



And propped the keel batten up to see the shape of the skeg, plus checked out tiller placement.

Pascagoula Catboat ROSE 20 Jan 18 Sail Rig Ideas

20 Jan 18:

We have been quizzing our Biloxi buddies, Russ and Buddy, about Gulf Coast catboats. Buddy mentioned a 16 foot cross planked, lapstrake boat designed by Peter Culler and offered to send us some of the plan drawings for us to look at. One thing we are especially interested in is the dimensions to the gaff rig, at 182 square feet it is quite impressive.



Buddy is sending the rest of the plans and maybe that will give us some more ideas on cross plank construction. Thanks to Russ and Buddy for keeping the Gulf Coast boating heritage alive!
