I don't know who the designer og my boat was, but I saw pictures of another boat that is said to be a Geary design. The hull of that boat is virtually identical to mine down to stringer placement. Consequently, I would like to see if Geary's small power boat designs are collected somewhere. I can't find a a single reference to a collection of his designs on line.

As you probably know, there was an article in WB about some of his larger designs. Perhaps the author might know of other plans.
Any photos of your boat to post?

I am aware of the wooden boat article and have seen other stuff by the same author, but nothing about a collection of plans. I guess I can contact the author.
There are lots of pictures of the boat at: http://www.todddunnmicroyachts.com/tortuga/rebuilding_tortuga.html
This one was taken a couple of years before I bought the boat

You might get a lead at the Center for Wooden Boats in Seattle.
Apparently some of his drawings are in the Smithsonian collection, contact these folks http://americanhistory.si.edu/csr/shipplan.htm
A fairly complete history here http://www.sailboatdata.com/view_designer.asp?DESIGNER_ID=47
Blue Peter was in the other night, I managed a quick snap just before dark....
