I'm looking for information about the Van de Stadt 40 Carribean. Is
there anyone that can help me? I've studied the plans for weeks and I
saw many articles and photos about multichine system but few docs about
the round bilge method.

Thank
Gianni

INot the same boat, but I have almost finished round bilge VDS 34 if
you need any info about the construction techniques. The vds drawings
were spot on.

Thanks Pete. I have a few questions: did you get a steel or an alum kit
with precut files?

Damn, sorry - I built mine out of wood strip and epoxy - but VDS are
really helpful, if you have any questions they will sort you out.
