The boat could be considered a flat bottomed skiff, although it's dressed much like a catboat. There will be a mainsail and a jib rigged out to a bowsprit (much different from a catboat). The cabin sleeps two in very modest quarters. No head, no galley, likely no electricity. A long, but basically structural keel runs the entire length of the boat. Instead two "bildgeboards" on either side of the cabin serve the functional purpose of a centrally located daggerboard. The bildgeboards are removable for transport and beaching.

Roof panel installation
I oversize the roof panels and trim them to the cabin width after they've been screwed in place.
An incomplete roof
The roof of the cabin is a lamination of two layers of 1/4" plywood. The portion of the roof pictured on the left is complete a lamination. The darker section of the roof requires one more layer of plywood.
