Hello,

I'm looking for some boat plans for a small (18-24 feet) sailboat.
Something I can sail by myself but is strong enough to take on short blue
water trips. It should sleep 4. Plywood construction.

I've found some plans for boats which would work. One extra fancy one
is called the Vagabond 23.

A more realistic one is called the Pelican

Still another called the Elver which looks easy and cheap to build.

Before I go spending money on plans I hoped I might find some free
examples by mining places like this. Can anyone point me in the right
direction? So far all i've found in the free price range is silly bucket
boats and flat bottomed toy sailboats.

I'm not against paying for plans. But I would want to be sure there
are lots of success stories for a set of plans, Online, the vagabond 23
seems to have a lot of success stories. I was able to find lots of built
hulls and plenty of in-progress photos telling me that this is a project
that can be completed as advertised.


Enjoy!
Cruise
