Looking for free boat plans...
Meindert Sprang wrote in message ... "Miljenko" wrote in message ... Thanks to God, out there is still enought people who will help me to build this boat with tehnical help and their experience. You are not this kind of man so "Good Bye". Miljenko. This is not a matter of not wanting to help someone. This is about decent plans and the price you pay for it. If you want to build a 8 ft or 2 meter dinghy, there are quite a few free plans out there on the net. And such a desing would alse make a free plan viable. you can build a plywood dinghy for a few tens of bucks worth of plywood. However, building a 9 meter boats is quite different. First, I think you don't find any free plans for that, and second, like I said before, the price of a decent set of plans is small compared to the price you end up paying for the materials of the entire boat. I mean, you can find a decent plan for a 9 meter motorboat for $150 (Woodenboat plan 53, a 32' power cruiser from Eldredge-McInnis). That might be just 1% of the total cost of building the boat. Meindert 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. Thanks anyway. Miljenko. |
