picture of Wittholz's Corvus ?

[flatbottom]

Anyone have of a picture of a finished Corvus? The only picture I can find of a Corvus is with a round hull (http://media5.hypernet.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=005628) not the original plywood chine hull.

Thanks
Rich

Thanks a lot for going to the trouble to scan that! I really like it as an open boat! I'm going to order the plans.

They have a great reputation as a sturdy daysailor. I have a set of plans from long ago (before the days of epoxy), and they show some things being done differently than they would be done now. For example, Wittholz show splines being glued along the edge of all the plywood sheets to protect the end grain. Now it would be done with epoxy and glass.

Somebody here built one based on the Corvus plans, with some modifications. Drop dead gorgeous. Would that builder please step forward and make my mouth drool again? Thank you.

I had some construction photos someone sent me last winter but I can't find the cd they were on, I'll keep looking....

I was going to build the Corvus but decided on a Hartley 16 instead for cost and transport reasons.

There are more photos in this album. I think they are near the end. This boat is near my home so I could take more detailed shots if anyone would like them.
