Great information for building this boat.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Read this book carefully
  

*by W***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 26, 2021*

If you are interested in building this boat, you need to absorb every detail Payson describes. Lots of fun nautical terms-read to understand what they mean. I have built boats and wanted a small sailer similar in size to the Beetle cat, which a new one is above my pay scale. I made a model from the plans shown in the book and it revealed problems that will likely arise with the full-sized craft. I wish the photography was less grainy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Catboats!  Boats to love.
  

*by J***J on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 22, 2014*

When you peruse the v-bottom cats in wooden boats magazine compendium,  the building is a bit daunting.  But by  a careful study of "Dynamite's" building technique and explanations it will all come together for you.  What you learn by reading this work, and preferably building it, makes the other v-bottem cats that much easier to understand.  And perhaps build.  Remember, a twenty or twenty-two foot catboat is a big vessel, only lacking in the headroom department.  And if headroom is what you want, a cat is not the boat for you.  But the broad beam more than makes up for it.  So, I reccomend this book most highly - - - it will open a lot of doors for you.
