Looking for Joseph Dobler Plans

[Frank Spaulding]

I want to build a sailboat, and have fallen for "Nootka Sound" by Joseph Dobler. It's a Stitch and Tape 20' beach cruiser featured in Woodenboat No. 127. I understand that Mr Dobler has since passed away. Therefore I am uncomfortable sending to the address listed in the article. Does anyone know where else I can find these plans?

I have looked at many designs, trying to find a boat that I could Build, wouldn't bankrupt me and would provide reasonable camp type accomodations. (Off-centerboard, porto-pottie somewhat hidden, a little place to stretch out, no cramped little cuddy, looks nice. Any other designs out there that might fit that bill?

I would appreciate the help

Last I heard Tom Setum, Joe's son in law, was the contact person for Joe's plans: Tom Setum, 22 Glorieta West, Irvine, CA 92620. Info is from 12/97."

You might try that one. Good luck.
