roam Posted November 15, 2022 Report Share Posted November 15, 2022 After losing my Spindrift 11N I tried to go the inflatable route to use as a dinghy. Unfortunately my $2000 takacat had a half dozen leaks in less than 5 months. It also didn't sail or row worth a damn so I decided to build another B&B boat to use as a tender. One of the first lines in the build instructions is not to rush. So since it took 11 months to build my Spindrift I gave myself a month to build the Catspaw. I started building in late July and called it good enough for now in early September. So about 6 weeks in all. I'm still trying to source a mast and sail before I leave the country for a couple years. Here are some photos of the build and I'll update the thread as I continue to work and modify the boat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwg2116 Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 Having had the Spindrift, and now building a Catspaw, what are your thoughts? Is less more, or do you miss the Spindrift? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roam Posted December 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 Yes I definitely miss the Spindrift. The Catspaw is a much better match for the size of my boat though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
