pond yacht plans - The WoodenBoat Forum Interesting that this post should show up now I picked up a pond yacht this past weekend It belonged to a neighbor who gave it to us "kids" 25 years ago So, on the trip home to visit the grandparents, I retrieved it from the basement and son and I hope to give "Bourtai" new life on Walden Pond Here are some pictures:
John Fords Araner. . . - The WoodenBoat Forum Ford continued to use the yacht until her rising operating expenses prompted him to sell her circa 1971 Acquired by Fran M Dimond, of Honolulu, the craft retained her name into 1974, when she was bought by the San Marino Travel Service Still homeported at Honolulu, she was given back her original name, Faith in, or about, 1975
The Lady yacht Club - men only - wooden boats only This proved such a success that The "Lady" Yacht Club was formed in 1945 The name was derived from the yachts that were first sailed "Perfect Lady"1-8 This was increased to ten boats and crews with a skipper, mate and 3 crew members to each crew who normally sailed together during their membership of the club
The Lawton Tender 10ft - The WoodenBoat Forum This is undoubtably the source of the lines that the Newfound strip version is based on In that same book is a similar 12' yacht tender from Lawleys, another bygone builder of fine craft Again, this is a lapstrake boat, but if you are comfortable building a stripper boat with just a lines plan (with offsets), then this may be all you need Bob
pocket cruisers - The WoodenBoat Forum Most of the "pocket cruisers" in larger sizes are too heavy to trailer I would recommend the Princess 22 from B B Yacht Designs I am going to build the Pricess 26 and it weighs only 2700# You can rig in 5-10 minutes un-stayed Cat Ketch Centerboard is offset along the galley to provide more room in the cabin
Steam Yachts from 100 years ago. - The WoodenBoat Forum Looking at steam yacht lines plans and GA drawings in Dixon Kemp I am struck by how very impractical they were In the days of coal fired Scotch boilers most of the hull was taken up with boiler room, engine room, coal bunkers and crew accomodation
Developing a Table of Offsets - The WoodenBoat Forum This would save you countless hours of work I still draw by hand and only do my own designs One other book that might come in handy for you is, The Common Sense of Yacht Design by L Francis Herreshoff Besides being a timeless tome of wisdom, it is also a good read I found it to be much more practical than Skene's Elements of Yacht Design
Following the Pied Piper. - The WoodenBoat Forum Re: Following the Pied Piper Noble indeed Chip Des' aversion to hollow sections shows especially in the Piedy bow area below the chine where he goes to considerable extra effort to retain full sections by curving, torturing, the ply forward of frame "E", then laminating two thicknesses of 4 5mm ply for the last sheet at the sharp end
Woolacott boats - The WoodenBoat Forum Devonport yacht club has a very good centennial book that came out a few years ago Because Woollacott was a local builder , there's a strong link and representation in the book I'm looking a photo of the original Ghost ( which was built in devonport by Bert himself)in the book right now
Signaling cannon for yachts - The WoodenBoat Forum Once upon a time, a long, long time ago, there was this very fancy yacht at anchor Come the downing of the sun said yacht produced a proper signalling canon, which produced the proper report, at which point the yacht's ensign was lowered
