La Chatte catamaran in the water

15 Aug 2005

I have now finished my La Chatte building and put my 'cat' in the water. It sails like a dream and is really fun to use. It has also been a pleasure to build it, very much thanks to your great plans, rigging and hardware kits.

I send you two photos. The first one is from my mast building. I glued together 6 pieces of wood to get a straight and nice wood beam to cut out the solid wood mast from. I used 50 clamps for this :o) My workshop was a little bit to small, so I had to build a 'tent' for the part of the mast which it was no room for indoor.

The second photo shows my La Chatte in the water with it sails hoisted.
