Hello all and Merry Christmas. I'm a newbie to the site and thought I'd
throw a topic into the ring. I had finally received my plans for the Hartley
21. Was going to begin construction until my leg was placed in a very
strange position it didn't like and now I have a broken tib and fib (lower r
leg). Instead of 2 seperate bones, I now have six and will be spending the
rest of the summer in a cast. So now I am relegated with just studying the
plans and sourcing and pricing materials. So I thought I would do a bit more
research and ask you guys for any and all advise (besides Don't build it,
buy it) from those who have built their own vessels and especially from any
other Hartley owners, past and present. One more question: centreboarder,
single or bilge keeler? Thanks, Sam

Are you in OZ or NZ?

Are these plans for a ferro hull?

Sorry about your accident.

I'm thinking of building a Hartley 18-22' boat in the next few years.
Good luck, and I'd love to know how it turns out.
