Another reason to mount the boat upside down is you can make it streamline
with your car. You could build a boat that matches your caravan's finish
and follows your roofline like a van conversion.

Use the van to shape the gunnels, either as a model to carve out foam
shapes, or as a plug to mold the gunnels directly in fiberglass.

Hi All,
I am planning to build a small sail boat to take on holiday and other
family
trips when we also take our caravan so it has to be light enough to "car
top" a cross section as below..

a flat bottom ( for the roof bars) and about 10' to 12' max length
would
be
perfect. Does anyone have a link to a free plan close to my needs or
have
one they can e-mail me so I can then adapt it to my needs.
watch out for the spam trap if e-mailing me direct!!






Some of the guys are having a good time with you. As a newbie you
probably are not aware of the kinds of issues you bring up when you
talk about free plans so I give you a pass. Find the Gardner books at
the local library and look up the Dual purpose skiff, 12 feet, nice
shear, would probably take a better size vehicle and maybe a rack
extention to rooftop it. Nice boat, flat bottom, Gunter rig sail for
easy storage, sweet "down east" lines especially the shear. When mine
is done it should weigh about 120 lbs as I am currently building a
light weight cartoppable version I have adapted from the origional
design which would be heavier. There is a place to start but don't ask
me for the rework I did as it is not on paper and probably won't be,
specially for free

Scotty from.......... ugh, still can't do it! Make the F***** rain
stop, please.
