Meerkat: Now black by popular demand! (building Meerkat, a very small catboat)

by John MacBeath Watkins

Well, I've got black paint on the outside of the boat now, so she's nice and shiny and the shape is easy to appreciate.

Still a way to go yet. Paint the mast, make the boom, finish painting the interior, paint and install the rub rails.. Maybe in a week I can launch.

By the way, there's a build thread here: http://forum.woodenboat.com/showthread.php?150763-Building-Meerkat-a-very-small-catboat
