Shane, I now have a copy of Fame's lines & sailplan (thanks, Don Z!). I'm working on a job on a "big steel" boat right now, so haven't had time to do more than ogle her pretty lines.

Shane,

I'm still waiting on building plans for my "Presto 34" by Parker and also still in love with "Susan".

I don't know anything about your question above.

Sorry Rod I thought it was you who had decided to build her after Michael had played with the drawings... see memory!!!

Thad correct me if Im wrong mate but those construction drawings arent for Fame they were for another 40ft schooner by Crowninsheild very similar to Fame if I remember rightly from when you and I got them? If memory serves we got them just after the Peabodys big renovation thing and the fella at the museum couldnt find the construction drawings for Fame... and ergo why I dont have Fames but the other 40fter

Mind here we did get the offsets and sail plan of Fame just not the construction drawing sheet.

Probably right Shane, I have to check. Probably comperable though. We'd have to check in Chicago with the real FAME.

Thats what I recall Thad... the second 40ft schooner was very similar to Fame and the fella couldnt find the ones for her... I think I found the second one in a parcel of MotorBoating scans TonyH had sent me around that time and we decided that if Fames construction wasnt available we would try to get the other... we got the other. :(

Okay swift hobble out to the shed open the cabinet gather out the rolls with the plans open the one marked "FAME" and "DARK HARBOR" and have a gander:

Fame plan #404 June 10 1910
included: Offsets, Sail plan, lines

40ft schooner plan #411 Sept 21 1911
Included: construction and cabin elevation drawings

There is also a smaller strip that is an "accomadation sheet" for a "Proposed LWL 30ft schooner" no number given but dated Aug 22 1911

Gawd Id almost forgotten how beautiful she is :cool:
