New Gato Especial Build in Greece

support_2

 

 

Construction has begun on a new Gato Especial in Athens, Greece. My client, Alexis and his father have already cut out all the hull panels, as well as the building forms.

The forms have been aligned, leveled and pinned together for rigidity.

At this point, they will be butt joining the hull panels together and getting everything ready to stitch the hull together.

They have chosen to build an 8’6″ (2.62 meter) version of the Gato and will be using the boat to cruise the islands of the Aegean.

I’ll be posting regular updates as they progress with the build.

Great to see pictures of the Greek Build. I hav sent several e-mails asking about study plans for the Cat. I’m most interested in the 10′ beam version but will take anything you have for information.
Thanks
