My on-again/off-again obsession with a sailboat was rekindled today, and I somehow stumbled onto a repository of old boatbuilding plans.
OldBoats: Treasures from the Past
Free Boat Plans from the Late 1930’s and Early 1940’s
These are some beautiful boats. I have already chosen a couple of plans and passed them on to a woodworking expert of my acquaintance to see what it might cost to do one of these. I’m OK with the gluing and fastening but the precision wood cuts might not go so well.
This one looks a lot like the little ship you can build at the Center for Wooden Boats.
<update> Oh. My. Goodness. Plans for just about anything you could ever want in a boat, even aluminum canoes. This one is my favorite, I think. The lines are beautiful.
