| I like this design, I'll follow your build looking good, are you gonna place the frames on a building jig?I like the cat too, been sailing F18 for almost a year, and I love multihulls(well, I also love boats in general...) I would love to see some more sporty plans of a plywood cat. |

| Around 4 and a half tonnes for a 40 ft cat with 80sqM of sail area is pretty powerful... Look at the design specifications in the first link of my signature...

| I love that boat. I have a question on the construction process: when you notch out the bulkheads for the stringers, how do you get the angle in the notch correct for the parts of the hull where the stringers are converging at bow and stern. Do you just make a square notch and epoxy it in, or is there an angle specified by the plans for each location? |
