A Joel White modified version of the famous Herreshoff Columbia model dinghy, this boat, which measures 12' 8\", makes an excellent project for the boatbuilder with intermediate skills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs Joel writes in the beginning of the book: \u003cem\u003eSo the end result is a larger version of the Nathanael Herreshoff dinghy, built to slightly heavier scantlings and a different construction method, with another rig and centerboard configuration. She rows and sail beautifully, thanks to her superior model, and she does all the things Ben (Joel's client) wanted. She looks good and was fun to build. Ben is pleased, I’m pleased, and I trust that N.G.H. is still resting comfortably. \u003c\/em\u003e And now, years later, a Catspaw Dinghy still graces our WoodenBoat School waterfront and has had many, many students take her out for a row or sail. We are quite sure that Joel, too, is resting comfortably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis version is carvel planked. While offsets are included with the book, it's advisable to build from the plans.
