Good boat plans source
I'm sure everyone is familiar with the "How to Build 20 Boats" series
formerly published by Fawcett Publications, with lots of individuals on eBay making a buck or two selling CD's of the plans, but I have found another, more contemporary source of plans in the "Sports Afield Boatbuilding Annual". They are not public domain, to my knowledge, but several in the series are readily available through various book searches. They were published from 1954 to 1966, featuring plans by Weston Farmer, Edson I Schock, Bruce Crandall, and others. A couple of the issues have fold out plans, but all the boats have detailed plans with the articles. And, the plans are not repeated in multiple years! I'm still getting familiar with them, but included are Weston Farmer's Simplex, and Bayou Belle houseboat, to name two - ten plans per issue, or so. Frank |
