nothing to do with me, I just like some of the designs.

They no longer have the plans for the MiniCup on Stevenson Projects?
--------
I'll confess, didn't go to the site. I googled "minicup
plans"http://www.stevproj.com/FastSailrs.html

I'd sorta like to build an updated version of the "PlyFlyer using
stitch and glue. *My reasoning is that the MiniCup is too small to
achieve maximum advantage of going from the older methods to stitch
and glue whereas the slightly bigger PlyFlyer built as stitch and glue
could end up much lighter.

Looks like a good project. When I get all my other stuff caught I'd like to
build a nesting dinghy, you did this right? Like the result?

Well, I do like the result but it has problems. It fits on the
foredeck of my 28' sailboat but it catches the jib sheets when I
tack. This has nearly caused serious problems and I cannot figure a
way to completely prevent it. After going forward in nasty stuff a
couple times o free the jib sheet, I am going to replace the nesting
dinghy. It woukld do very well on a larger boat where it sat back far
enough to be out of the way. I do have some suggestions on how o get
the two halves to join in a structurally sound way. It took me three
tries to get it to work.
