La Chatte Design

Updated - July, 2018 6 February 2013 Here are some photos of hull #1 of the \"La Chatte" I am building. I'm ready to fiberglass it, but a decent time window hasn't opened up yet. Also, I'm waiting for the pre-epoxy jitters to settle down. I'm nearly there.... I'll send more as work progresses.

Subject: La Chatte Pictures Date: Sun, 19 Sep 2004 Hi, I recently became aware of your web pages. Pictures of my dad\'s Albert E were fun to see. I built your La Chatte in around 1970, in Fremont, California. It was thrillingly fast to sail in a stiff wind! Here are my pictures of that boat. Thanks for your great boat designs! Best Regards, Milt Demaray

6-9-04 From: Tord Forsen Date: Thu, 10 Jun 2004 Hi, I included some pictures of my \'La Chatte\' building. I build it a little different from the instructions. Instead of using plywood for the hulls I use wood strips glued together and covered with glass fibre at out- and inside. Best regards, Tord

Subject: La Chatte Built in 1976 Date: Fri, 30 Aug 2002 14:21:20 EDT I built this boat along with my father and brother when I was 16 in 1976. Over the course of time, we modified the rigging to accomodate a Hobbie Cat mast and sails which adapted quite well and added more speed to the boat. I am delighted to find after all these years that you still use the \"La Chatte\" design which was an extremely fast sailboat in a good wind off the coast of Plymouth, Mass where the Mayflower once sailed. Hope you add this to your site, thanks, Mark Crociati
