Hi
Steamer it seem like you know what you are looking for , you know what type of hull and you proberly have an idea about what mid section shape you want ----- why don't you just try put down the lines yourself in a free CAD program such as IntelliCAD , it is not that difficult, What could be difficult is to decide what materials to use ,what building technike that is fit for the type of boat , also when you find plans are these made for the building technike you will chose ? Most amature builders find that one of the most important issues with a build, is to have a strong building jig, something that allow you to shape the paneling without fiddeling. Now the tradisional boat plans is just sections cut thru a 3D form, many detail issues are left to be solved by the builders experimence , most plans do not tell you that the first plank will be a major challance or that the third plank ask extra care as it cover forms that go from convex to concave forms on the hull ------ now what not so many seem to know is, that all these troubles are solved if the boat have been projected in a CAD program --- you see ,when you unfold the paneling from a 3D model, you see these difficult shapes that you have to put into the individual plank or panel so to end up with a hull shape without to many sharp edges or "impossible" details , details that can ruin the whole project if you are not prepared for them. So my advise is that you rather go into detail now and spend those few extra hours, to acturly get what you want, instead of trusting just any neat design just becaurse there are a simple front, side and top drawing. |
