Pascagoula Catboat MARGARET ROSE 03 Jan 19 Keel Longeron
03 Jan 19:
Moved the keel longeron to the Carriage House, took some measurements from the Newport Catboat plans, scaled them to 16 feet.
14 inch rise from the keel up to the bottom of the transom, starting just behind the centerboard trunk slot. We screwed the longeron down to the floor at about 10 1/2 feet.
Centerboard slot runs from about 5 1/2 feet back to 10 1/2 feet.
Tape measures show approximate location of centerboard trunk.

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!
