thanks I did not know that about the tool... Still think there are one or two aussie A cat sailors who build their own hulls..

I wonder though when does a home built not become a home built? May sound silly.. But a few years ago a group of Javelin skiffs sailors got together built a mold and pulled 5 or so hulls off the mold.. Maybe a dozen or so over the years. These guys built the hulls in a home garage and had day jobs.. Worked weekends to help the class.. I guess this idea could apply to cats as well
