Any pictures of Bett's SO-DO-IT sailboat around?
Hi. I remember seeing a picture of the SO-DO-IT, 14' enclosed ocean
racer a while ago. I believe this was designed at least in part by Jim Betts. I've been looking for this picture because, believe it or not, I really liked the paint scheme. I'm building a small cockleshell and would like to paint it in a similar way. Would anyone know where I can find a picture of So-DO-It or a boat with a similar paint job? My boat is a bit of an odd duck and I think a nice paint job like that would do wonders for it, plus I've even been thinking of putting numbers on the sides to make it look like it belongs to some exclusive racing class association. :-) "A little paint makes it look like what it ain't" -My Army Company Commander in the '70's Regards, Denis |

Not anymore, Ted. Jacques is coming out with his own version of the
boat, just as he did with the GP-16. He won't post any information on So-Do-It and won't allow anyone else to post pictures of the boat. He says it will confuse people. Thanks for the reply, though. Ted W Lee wrote: The plans(and pics) for SO-DO-IT are available from Bateau.com. Ted in Mich. |

At least one boat was built, and it sold last year for the bargin price of SO-DO-IT pic is he http://ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/mic.../view/3ea9?b=1 You may have to join this group. Some in this group have sailed this boat: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/microc...g/message/5773 I sailed the prototype one afternoon on San Diego Bay. It was fast for it's length. It was very roomy inside. Any powerboat wake made it hobbyhorse uncomfortably. Maybe loaded down with 3 months of provisions would cure that. I think the reason it wasn't a big hit is the difficulty with the center of effort moving forward when roller reefed. No good way to get good sail balance. Perhaps the addition of a staysail corrected that problem. |
