if you want to launch here on that date (any year) you'll have to extend
your request to include help with breaking the ice

I admire your initiative. For actual cruising guidance you might want to read
Ladd's "Three Years in a 12 Foot Boat" in which he describes mooching his
way through the Americas. He seems to have had quite a knack for living
off women.

It is easy. Just pick the "wounded bird" type woman.

Definitely not my style, but I have seen more than enough guys who were quite
willing to live that way. Surprising to me was that in some cases I might bump
into this one or that one only to find they had become "Born Agains" or were
now extremely hen-pecked husbands. Attoning for their perceived sins? Who
knows. In no case did I envy one for the woman he got.

"wounded bird" types are a millstone for any man!
You cannot help them, and they drag you down with them!

What is the matter with you gentlemen?
The man just asked for any info on free plans.
What's wrong with that?

Hello,

I would like to build a 9 meters motor boat with round form in WEST
technology in which I am experienced on small boat (6mtr). Diagonal strip
lines of plywood should be used with epoxy and finaly laminated with
rowing.
Inboard motor is prepaired Mercedes 300D with 90PS. Form should be
displacement/semidisplacement with speed aproximately 10 knots cruising
and
12 knots max.. I found od www.tadroberts.com something for studing White
pine, Douglas fir and Yellow cedar, nice forms but still to far from good
plan to start bulding.
So, if you got free plans or good site please notice me.
Thanks.

Hello to ALL of you,

first, I am telecommunications engineer and if anyone asked me about

Hello Miljenko,

I have a collection of links on my boatbuilding site:
http://www.customware.nl/boats/en/index.html

Option "interesting links". Maybe you can find something of your intrest
there.


HELLO FROM CROATIA - land of the most beautifull see and little ships!

Been twice to Croatia (Opatija), on my honeymoon and later in the season
again. Unfortunately I wasn't caught by the boatbuilding virus then. But it
sure was beautiful!

I thought all designers ripped off other people's designs.
That's what boat designers do.
Can anyone name anyone who has designed a boat with no research or
study of other people's boats?

I once walked in a major (and I mean major) designer's office while they
were working on the concept drawings of a new boat.
There were plans and pictures all over the place, they had graphs of data
about other boats and a list of desired features mostly referring to other
designs.
I would not trust a design that is not based on research and data compiled
from previous designs.
We have a library of hundreds of plans and spreadsheets full of data from
boats designed by others. I would not start a new design without studying in
detail what has been done before.
The novice will often think: "That design looks very much like a Bolger,
it's a copy . . " not knowing that Bolger got the idea from Sucher who
collected and analyzed data taken from boats he measured on the waterfront
and those boats themselves were the product of an evolution etc. etc.
The problem is the lack of knowledge of the neophyte.
The art of the designer is to pick all those features and blend them in an
harmonious new and original design. That assumes that he also understands
what works and doesn't.
There is much out there not worth copying, it usually comes from amateur
designers who did not do their homework. They try to be different not
knowing that it has been done and failed..
Their weird plans are like no others, they don't "copy".
