La Chatte
Designed by Glen-L Marine
A 15 ft 8 in plywood sailing catamaran from Glen-L Marine, sloop-rigged with twin daggerboards, about 270 lb. Like the smaller L Gato it planks each hull in one continuous piece of thin plywood and carries knocked down on a car roof: the cockpit tray sits on the rack and the hulls on the tray.
Two easy hulls and a fair amount of rig and fitting-out. Allow 150 to 250 hours. Hardware, rigging and sail kits are sold. Measured medians from logged builds are below.
What building a La Chatte actually takes
Medians from the build logs kept on this site, not the designer’s estimate. Nobody has logged this boat here yet, so they are empty until the first builder does.
Those medians firm up as more people log this boat.
