Some updates of our catboat :-)

Fiber glassing the inside part of the hull

Finishing the centerboard trunk inside part after turning the hull

We have then begun to sand and paint the hull bottom part

and worked on the rubber fixations... testing first ;-)

Bamboo mast: that will not work, sorry.

For the CB being able to swing 120 degrees, the solution is simple: adjust the length of the painter (lifting rope) so that it does not go further than 80 degrees.

JM, DuEholic had this question:

Regarding the bamboo mast, could you just explain why you say it won’t work?
We really have no idea, but are studying a lot about this possibility, so any additional information is really relevant for us?

Bamboo mast: not strong enough. It could work with a small chinese lug sail. I tested that in Haiti on a boat similar to the FL14 but the setup was different.

Manu thanks Eric and Jacques !
We will follow your recommendation and make the mast in wood.
What would be the easiest way to build it considering we need to do it in 2 parts?
The total weight of the mast does impact the whole structure?
Regarding the fabric of the sail? Would you have some suggestion, as we will have to make it by ourselves?

Many thanks,
