Tirrik Plans

[EricB]

Hello - New to forum...Interested in plans for the Tirrik, and other Oughtred designs as well. Is there a U.S. supplier I can go to? Have found plans on web, but so far all I've found are overseas suppliers...Thanx, Eric

There's an entire forum dedicated to just Oughtred's designs here:
http://www.mavc2002.com/cyforum/index.php?sid=06b79989193ce1024b0cfc146a4a4c1d

You'll probably find all you ever needed to know there. Best source for all of Oughtred's most recent plans and updated sets of plans online is at http://www.classicmarine.co.uk/boatlists/ionames.htm

Or you write directly to the man himself in Scotland--he doesn't have a computer.

There is also an Oughtred group on Yahoo Groups -=-=- great resource!

Thanx for the advice guys. I'll follow up & see where this goes...Eric

Get a copy of Iain Oughtred's Design Catalogue, available from Wooden Boat Store. You can spend a lot of pleasant hours mulling over the designs in that book.

Thanx Al - Have to confess I never built a boat before, but I'm just a generation away from the Frisian Islands on my Mom's side & the Baltic on my Dad's, & I was told every Dane is obliged to build his own boat & sail it at least once before he dies. I was involved in aviation a long time (Sailplanes) and was around for a lot of Homebuilding projects, and had a casual apprenticeship with a crusty old German Gunsmith who did a lot of Pennsylvania Rifle stuff. Plus, my current line of work has allowed me to build a relationship with a couple of premier Cabinet makers who can take rough logs from the Amish and do whatever you want - so I think I just might go for it...Eric
