flying_dutchman2 Posted February 26, 2017 Author #151 Posted February 26, 2017 The Catboat is completed and waiting to be shipped to Prince Edward Island. Enjoyed building this kit. Next I will decide to either continue the Utrecht or build me a garden windmill. Thank for all the constructive suggestions everyone gave me in building this kit and thanks for watching.

Ariel Abrahamson Posted August 21, 2020 #162 Posted August 21, 2020 This is From Ariel in Nahariya, Israel -- I just received the Bluejacket Catboat kit and I'm going over the instructions and parts very closely. I too am thinking of completing the interior, but will leave the centerboard box in place. I noticed that you added the 1/8" square Keel Strips prior to fixing the Frames (F1-F4) in place. I was thinking that this is the way to go -- even though the instructions say to install the Keel strips after Frame installation. Also, when assembling Frame F2 (two halves) there is a "temporary" brace across the top of the Frame sub-assembly -- but nowhere in the instructions does it say when to remove the "temporary" brace -- did you remove it or leave it in place? Your model is really looking good -- hopefully I will be able to emulate your modeling skills on this project. flying_dutchman2 1 Quote
Steve116 Posted February 21, 2021 #163 Posted February 21, 2021 Hi I recently joined Model Ship World and have completed the hull of a Blue Jacket kit #105- Cape Cod Cat boat. I'm a little stuck on building the single and double blocks and rigging and how they are installed. Any pictures of completed Catboats would be very helpful(esp the rigging details) and much appreciated. Cheers! Steve Ed Gibbons 1 Quote

flying_dutchman2 Posted September 22, 2021 Author #165 Posted September 22, 2021 I was revisiting some of my old builts and I see there are questions. What I liked so much about Bluejacket Shipcrafters models is that the plans are well put together. On the other hand the instructions can be better. My sister has the model so I can't give you more pictures. I thought I had enough on this build. There are others that have built a Cape Cod catboat herre on this site so take a look at those boats and see if your questions can be answered.

Cary J Posted December 26, 2022 #166 Posted December 26, 2022 Hi Marcus, I hope you receive this message since it has been a while since you finished your boat. I just finished the Cap Cod Catboat model and want to thank you for setting up this conversation. I was very frustrated with the directions that came with the kit and after searching the internet I found your thread. I referred to your comments and pictures constantly, it was a sanity life saver. I am pleased with the finished product; it is a good looking boat. I gave it as a Christmas present to a friend that lives on Cap Cod, he was thrilled. Thank you again, Cary J mtaylor 1 Quote
