  • It's been around 12 long months since I started building my double canoe! Way too long! In this plywood boatbuilding video, we'll be working on a hatch combing for Skimmer. This is an important part of building a Plywood Catamaran, and can often be the most challenging part of the project.
    How to make plywood hatch covers
    By the end of this video, you'll be able to build a hatch combing for your own Plywood Catamaran! This video is meant to be a tutorial, so if you have any questions, please let us know in the comments. We hope you enjoy it!
    This is my new boat building project where I'll be building a 20ft Gary Dierking double Tamanu catamaran in my garage.
    Some very (very!) kind people have asked how they can contribute to the project, here's how...

    I absolutely love this project! Love the simplicity of it. I have bought the cutwater xl plans and can't wait to get started on building it with my children. Thanks for your hard work!

    Cool, Aaron. Nice neat job with your circular sawing mate. Nice straight cuts.

    Aaron how did this project go? Or is it still in progress? Also, any chance you'll build race paddleboard, something long and narrow for speed? Loving your videos...

      I've been slowly working on the cat project, the goal is to have the boat in the water and sailing by september. I am also working on a 14ft paddleboard design which will have a beam of 28inches. I'll share some images of the new board soon.

    Nice job Aaron! I wonder if fiberglassing the hatches would give it the needed strength without adding as much weight as another layer of plywood. Plus it would help spread the load out.

    Hi Aaron, I noticed that you commented on difficult tacking for a catamaran. Could you give your opinion on the tacking ability of the 16ft Wa'apa that you built previously? Was it a problem? Regards, Mark. (Gawler Sth Australia)
