16' SIMPLE SURF CAT

Surf Cat
16’x 7’. Very simple construction based upon 7 sheets of ply and easy ‘V’ section hulls with no centreboards. Costs have been kept right down by using wood beams and a simple ply aerofoil section mast. Definitely a sporty fun boat for the beach and for some competitive single handed sailing. A poor man’s Hobie cat. Easily demountable with everything secured by bolts minimal construction time.

18' HAWK
Hawk 18'
18’x 11’ (hull beam 3’). Ultra simple stitch and tape construction using 10 sheets of 1/4’’ and 4 sheets of 3/8’’ ply. Built-in buoyancy, good storage and sit-in hulls which may, under a canvas canopy be used for sleeping as well as the bridge deck area making her an ideal coastal/beach camping boat. Beams are simply bolted to the hulls and each hull may be made in two parts and bolted together.

5m RODCAT BEACH CATAMARAN
Rodcat
The Rodcat 5 is a simple beach catamaran with asymmetric hulls. To make construction quick and easy, each hull is built up from a flat inboard side which is laid flat on a workbench. The transom and ply bulkheads are then fitted to this side and the pre-shaped bilge and side panels added and stitched together. All seams are then epoxy filleted before the deck is put on over size and trimmed back. The 'I' beams are made up from wood and are simply lashed into beam slots mounted on top of the deck so that assembly is quick. The daggerboards are mounted in outboard slots formed on the vertical inboard hull sides and the drawings give details for wood mast and boom. LOD 18' (5.5m); Beam OA 9'2" (2.8m); Sail Area 178 sq.ft. (16.6m); Approx. wht. 350 lbs (160 kg).
