Coronavirus Project: a Cat Dinghy

Trapped by circumstance - the 14 day isolation on entry to Tasmania was changed on the weekend of our sailing, from "Home" to "at the Governors pleasure" (a motel room with Rocco off to the RSPCA) ; I elected to stay in NSW until the isolation requirements relaxed. (which they have since done). (Jan 2021)

The consequence was I wanted a project which wasn't house maintenance, and after acquiring some Bunnings grade marine ply, I set to.

The project is a catamaran dinghy, which I hope will allow me to access the trailer sailor when needed and provide a stable platform for Rocco to ease into the idea of being a sea dog.

The designer is Mark Gumprecht, the dinghy is the Li'l Nip and the plans are available from Duckworks. (Note: the plans are now "free")

Its was to be a rough and ready project as I acquired and refine the skills ""on the job"

I'll document my progress over on the CatDink's own page so >>click here<< to go there!
