Pretty in Plywood

[Lewisboater]

Here's my Selway Fisher Highlander 11 - my first build. She now has a sailing rig 'adapted' (or butchered to fit!!) from a Mirror dinghy. Great fun to sail and good looking in my eyes.

A pretty little ship it is too. I like the wheels.

[biglad]

The wheels make launch/ recovery very easy. Pick up the bow of the boat, push her down the slip, jump in and you're off! They are old lawnmower wheels bolted through the skeg on a length of stainless threaded rod.

Thanks for uploading the photo. When I tried to do it I kept getting errors.

[Lewisboater]

I didn't upload...I just linked to your existing picture. Copy the URL of the picture you want to link to and then type "[img][/img]" and insert the URL between the open and close image html. Make sure there are no spaces inserted by accident and the image should be loaded from the other site every time someone views the page. If the site is down or the picture is removed then you get that little icon that means the picture is no longer available.

This is a dutch, van der stadt design we own, the construction is frame, sheet, screw and glue really simply. The Spanker 19 was the first dutch 'camping boat' in the 60's she sleeps 4 and was intended for weekend tours. She handles very responsive and is nice and slippery. I am restoring and modifying her at present so I can take her from Holland to Santiago de Compostella, or actually Coruña. I do have better photo's but there on my little black mobile drive which I dont have to hand at the moment

There was going to a picture here but the website wont allow me to upload a 30kb picture maybe later.

Lets hope this gives you some idea, I'll try and up load photo again after NYE.

Nice looking boat Obi . Fast too. Pedigree.

[Terry Haines]

Speaking of wheels ...
... just one wheel actually - a spare one intended for a snowthrower that I mounted on a piece of ply to fit in the daggerboard trunk.

[Obi Wan Kenobi]

Nice wheelbarrow you got there Terry, organic gardening?

[Obi Wan Kenobi]

Boat Fan,

Thank you for taking the time to look her up.

Ours is #390 build in the early sixties, the plans are still available from van der Stadt in the Netherlands, where its also one of the oldest racing classes.

I guess I should add Paul Bieker's nesting dinghy:

[Clarkey]

That is gorgeous. I had a look at the rest of the slideshow and decided I would quite like one irrespective of its nesting abilities. Does anyone know exactly how long it is?

[chicagoross]

Does Bieker even sell plans?

[Clarkey]

I think it will be coming out as a kit from PT Watercraft - they hint that it will form the basis for a range of nesting dinghies.

Does Bieker even sell plans?

[Bill7254]

Not to change the subject but how bout a Welsford Houdini yawl

[Waterrat]

Someone should place a warning at the beginning of this post to wear a bib. I just made a mess all over the front of my shirt. Thanks for the wooden porn. Justin

Mr. Lemon, is that a Warchip or Splinter?

[P.L.Lenihan]

It is a Waarschip 740 Andrewe. Oh, and by the way, it is Mr.Lemonhands.Thank you

Cherokee Falls on Lake Allatoona near Woodstock, Ga.

[gstanfield]

Cool, I have been there before. There's not much water short of farm ponds that I have not been on when it comes to GA and especially anything in and around the Appalachians

Does anybody have a decent pic of Stormvogle? Van de Stadt design for the owner of Brunzeel ply, and made of it. Looked at the charter site, not much there. Not too many ply boats of around 70ft.

[Obi Wan Kenobi]

There are some really good looking designs here, I am starting to look at build plans for the next project, but am also considering developing a bigger version of the Spanker19 I have at the moment. But pretty glad to see what everybody else has.

Hey Andrew,

What are the dimensions?

Charlie

[Typhoon]

I'll just link this site, lots of useful information: http://www.ywdiamond.com.au/store/index.asp

Hey Andrew,

[Tom Robb]

What on Earth is Walter M. posting and then deleting so often?
Wierd.

[johnw]

I suspect he's having trouble posting pics. We need Thorne to explain it.

[Lewisboater]

He's posting the pics then deleting them and putting others there...kind of a klunky kaleidoscope?

First launched three weeks ago:

[Kitlani]

Essentially a Thunderbird, lengthened to 34'. A Ben Seaborn design. As a yawl, a wonderful sail. Marine ply, fibreglassed on exterior only. http://www.kitlani.ca/Kitlani2sm.jpg
Sorry, couldn't upload file. Kept being told about exceeding quota. Not possible.

[David G]

Kitlani,

Very pretty. One more step to upload - there's a box pre-checked. It says, "Retrieve remote file..." Uncheck it. Should go fine then.

.

[Kitlani]

Thanks for the considerate help on that, David.
Let me add, ......she had Sitka spruce masts and booms. Didn't make a sound (creak, groan) even in heavy weather. Self vaned jib 'n jigger. Could steer her from the bow with the mizzen sheet. She was our loved liveaboard.

[johnw]

How many of those were built? We had one at Quartermaster Yacht Club when I was a kid.

[Don Chapin]

26 foot diesel launch, Strongback, mold stations and frames currently set up on the cape.

[Walter Muelhauser]

Hi ,Tom Robb , Johnw , Lewisboater
about 1 week ago there was a short communication amongst you about my unsuccessful replying,editing,posting of photos ,which led me to ask Johnw about Thorne. Being still a rookie to do good work with WBF ,Johnw's
help about Thorne's thread was the effective advice. I deleted the badshaped reply and made now easily a better one.
Thanks Walter

[David G]

Walter,

Sehr gut. Danke.

Nice looking boat.

[CJ]

Two recent plywood builds: 14' Penobscot and 18' skiff

[PaulT]

MiddleAgesMan:
The boat finished out beautifully!. I didn't see a thread that you had launched. Great boat!

[FrugalMan]

I would say - David D. Hume - Phil. Bolger's Blueberry

[dcobbett]

Really nice looking outboard skiff. Can't make out the text on the stern quarter and it's hard to tell if it's flat bottomed or not; any chance you could provide some details on the hull? Thanks.

[John Smith]

I think this one is pretty. I built her so I am just slightly prejudiced about it. Fred Shell designed Swifty 12 with a few custom touches. Everybody loves their first boat.

Fred makes some very pretty boats. He built mine.

Last Saturday, at the yard in Vietnam where is being built the big schooner, Mr. Truong, the foremen, took his little boat that he has just built, just for the fun and for a bit of sailing.

As I know he is too shy to show it, I do it since this one definitely deserves to be here, in this wonderful collection of "pretty in plywood" boats.

[johnw]

A skipjack for Viet Nam? Interesting choice. I do hope there's more to that rudder, though.

[Lewisboater]

Looks like a Vacationer to me...Weekender's big sister. Look at the keel. It may have been the basis for this as there appear to be some divergences.
