Hi,

I'm planning to build a small cat, aroud 16'. The goal is to get experience with boat building using wood and maybe later to build a large cat for cruising. . .

All information on thoses design performances or on other design will be welcome. . .


Here's the Grandaddy of them all:

A very good plan to consider; especially if you have no experience is:

The Wharram designs will seem obsolete to most people, I happen to disagree.

You should be aware that I am in the process of buying a Phil Brander design, the Blade F16, and that I own a Wharram Tiki 21, which I bought.

Good luck and keep us informed. You will find a HUGE amount of knowledge and experience here.
