That is true, price for plans is not too high but I do not need complete
plans for external and internal works and dimensions of all parts, just
hull
form, which is better than many free "boxes" sold as boat. I alredy have
some good forms and get some by my self by measuring few Croatian
traditional boat (very good boats) but I want see and study how to
improve
this forms.

you can't just cold mould any hull shape. even when the hull shape is
designed for cold moulding its a very time consuming process shaving the
strips to conform to the shape fo the hull. you are not just putting one
layer on the hull so it has to be done all over again for each layer. I
think TF Jones says 1 hour per sq ft per layer to do the cold moulding
part of the boat construction.

Already did it. I measured one old form and put it in AutoCAD14. Than little
work about smoothering lines and rescaling to 6 mtr. All sections was
printed 1:1 cut and covered with 3 layer of 4mm plywood+epoxy (90 degrees
shift) and finally 1 ply of rowing. Of course, almost every strip line of
plywood needed corections to best fit. I ALREADY BUILT 6 MTR. BOAT !!!
Result is high quality, very nice little boat.
Now I am ready for something bigger.
See you on Monday.
Bye.

I don't get it. You want to build a 9 meter boat, which will cost you
several thousands of euros or dollars, but you want free plans???

There are too many people out there who have not hoisted in the fact
that
you
get what you pay for. ;-)

Although I am biased....

this boat with tehnical help and their experience. You are not this kind
of
man so "Good Bye".

You sir are a cheap Cad... but even so.. I do hope you find plans to suit
your needs... And hope they prove to be worth the money you paid for them

Where did this come from?

Please don't judge everyone by a simple sweeping (and incorrect)
assumption. It simply makes you look silly, and detracts from positive
things you may have to say

if that's your philosophy then from whence come all the negative remarks about
people looking for free boat plans? or free materials for that matter?

There was a laudable (In my view) attempt to produce an open source yacht
design a while back, you can check it out here http://www.mini-650.de
I'm not sure if it is still alive or not, but its gotta be worth a look

Need Free Plans . . . Plus!



I've decided to quit my job and build a sailboat, and need a little help.



Does anyone know where I can find free plans? Please don't tell me to go to
the library, because reading all those books is a lot of work. As a matter
of fact, if you know a designer who will create a set of plans for precisely
the boat I want, for free, that would be quite nice.



I realize the plans are a small part of the total cost of the boat.
Therefore I would also like to know if you know of anyone who will donate
the materials I will need. I could cut down trees and find someone to mill
them for me, but that's even more work than going to the library, and I
really want a modern boat. If you have a really large supply of carbon fiber
that would be ideal, but I would settle for the right assortment of
fiberglass.



As others have pointed out in this newsgroup, you will also have to come up
with the engine, plumbing, electronics, lighting and other gear I need, plus
of course the masts (I'd really like two, thanks very much) and sails.
Dacron if that's the best you can do, but I really think I deserve Kevlar.



Now I realize that building a sailboat of a size adequate for my needs is a
major project, and of course I don't plan to do it alone. In fact I am much
better at organizing than at working with my hands, so for those of you who
really want to get lots of great practical experience with boatbuilding,
this is your chance.



If you can't spare the time to help, but can supply the boatyard space
(actually, I will require a heated, well-lighted work area) or have several
tons of lead for the keel, I'd be willing to accept that.



I plan to name her "Self Reliant." Launch date is set for April 1.
