The Jenny Project: 1933 Crosby Catboat

[G.Sherman]

Still ironing out some issues with a leaking centerboard trunk, but I have managed to get her out of the backyard and down to the marina. A friend and I will try to relaunch her on Wednesday....

more photos to follow!

This was the best reward for all the hard work of the last 15 months....
and she sails like a dream!

Gorgeous! What a great way to start a morning! Thanks!

Nice job on that catboat! Congratulations!

Looking forward to sailing pictures.

BTW, you probably already have a copy, but in case you don't, "The Building of the Crosby Catboat" might be of interest. It follows the building of the boat "Breck Marshall" with lots of attention paid to the original methods of construction, including plans.

Very nice to see an old Crosby cat restored. Well done. Please post pictures of her sailing sometime.

Has your harbor been invaded by the dreaded tire-piling creatures? ;):D

[G.Sherman]

Yep, that menace and eyesore has advanced well into the Massachusetts shoreline. I actually took a ride on the Breck Marshall last summer to get a feel of how Jenny might handle..... she handles about the same. I also stole their wind indicator design and that turned out great too!
