Default Looking for free boat plans...

That is true, price for plans is not too high but I do not need complete
plans for external and internal works and dimensions of all parts, just hull
form, which is better than many free "boxes" sold as boat. I alredy have
some good forms and get some by my self by measuring few Croatian
traditional boat (very good boats) but I want see and study how to improve
this forms.


you can't just cold mould any hull shape. even when the hull shape is
designed for cold moulding its a very time consuming process shaving the
strips to conform to the shape fo the hull. you are not just putting one
layer on the hull so it has to be done all over again for each layer. I
think TF Jones says 1 hour per sq ft per layer to do the cold moulding
part of the boat construction.
