Because it is so much stronger, the “V” form allows the chine beam to be wider, hence you get increased stability. While the gentle lapping of waves against the hull may sound romantic, try sleeping with waves slapping under a flat bottom forward. It is very hard to make this boat pound.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e The shallow keel protects the bottom, and gives enough lateral plane to be able to beat to windward in only 12″ of water. The keel allows the CB to be smaller and less obtrusive in the interior. Offset to port and with half its length under the cockpit, it hardly interferes with the layout.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA nice departure from the traditional sharpie accommodations with the huge trunk bisecting the cabin.

Chick is an experienced sailor and wanted a light inexpensive boat that he could singlehand for weekends and vacation with his wife, or take several friends or clients out for a day sail. It was imperative that he could launch and retrieve the boat alone and with ease, and pull it with a normal full pick-up. A traditionalist at heart, Chick had previously owned a catboat, but wanted a boat that sailed well and was “less cranky”, while still being able to take on the shallow waters of Coastal Carolina.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"3\" width=\"652\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"3\" width=\"652\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf you are not familiar with this rig, we suggest you go to \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.bandbyachtdesigns.com\/catketch.htm\"\u003eWhy a Cat Ketch?\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"3\" width=\"652\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cdiv align=\"center\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"0\" width=\"670\" cellspacing=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"220\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eShown at the right: our no lofting building method: Two stages of the hull construction … Top: The 3\/8″ ply pre-developed sides* (blue) are wrapped around the bulkheads, temporary frame, transom (red), \u0026amp; stem.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBottom: forward sections are diagonally planked with two layers of 1\/4″ plywood with staggered seams; while the rest of\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\" width=\"446\"\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e \u003cimg src=\"http:\/\/www.bandbyachtdesigns.com\/prince3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"384\" height=\"318\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd colspan=\"2\" width=\"666\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ethe bottom is 1\/2″ sheet plywood.(green) This method allows the formation of the beautifully shaped sharpie bow while still being simple to construct.
