Ocelot
Ocelot is a half-scale model eight feet in length x eleven inches wide.
She is strip built from Yellow Poplar and
a Tamo Ash Veneer was vacuum-laminated to the compound-curved deck.
Her segmented edge detailing combines California Claro Walnut and Sugar Maple.
The coaming around Ocelot's cockpit is formed of California Walnut Burl.
Ocelot's sweeping lines required computer software
to create the mold for the strip construction.
