Looking at the atkins plans i thaught id just give a liitle more info
on what i want. I like these two plans the Calypso and the walter
piel.
I dont care much about flat vs v just want it big enough to carry 6
people. Want it to be powered well enough to travel around 20 knots.
Want it to be able to withstand a lightly choppy day in the bay/ gulf
(West Coast of florida/st petersburg) it would be cool if it was a
minimal cost type of thing but as far as looks and stuff not so
rigid.
Flatback canoe that would fit all those descriptions would be fine.
If
anyone could help me narrow down my search to specific areas ie Dory
ect that would help. if anyone can figure out where i can get some
plans for a boat that i might be interested in it would be all the
better. I also have another question. If i find a boat i like but it
is
only say 14 feet long and i want it 20 and the sides only sit 1 foot
above waterline and i want it like 3 feet above waterline could i
make
it fit those demensions and it still work or no? also i have an older
book that discusses how to build small wooden boats and it says to
use
oakum and coal tar? what are each of these and how do they work? thx
