Since what Peter? I love everything about this design but your post is a bit obscure without any explanation/text. Is that July 2011 on the plan? I can't read LOA/LWL... 6.38m??

Edited to add.....or do you mean it seems like 100 years since starting on this design?

[johngsandusky]

Or, that the design would have been right at home 100 years ago. Just my speed.

[peter radclyffe]

thats it,j s d
its 9 metres

[Larks]

Actually, I think it's just right for today!!

[peter radclyffe]

its 40 years since i was in a drawing office Greg, so i send these designs to Graham Westbrook who draws them properly, he also altered the main for balance, i need to study sail area balance more

Peter, that is rather lovely. I love designs where there is no counter at all. Just looks so Gilded Age yachty. :-)

[peter radclyffe]

its not worth it Paul it would put them off the plans, many people here expect correct presentation

[peter radclyffe]

Paul have you read this

[Paul Pless]

Thanks for the link. I hadn't read it but I look forward to doing so.

To be honest, I spend very little time on other forums, such as boatdesign, and sailing anarchy because I waste so much time here I'd have no life at all left if I became addicted to those forums as well. Although, I do sometimes go to latts and atts to look at sailing breastesses.

I like it a lot.

[peter radclyffe]

yes its lovely John,the saint michel is in the latest copy of chasse maree

[johnw]

I also like yours.

By the way, there are a lot of plans for old-style boats that are available from the Smithsonian for about $15 each, and you can build as many boats as you want from those. There are even some yachts a bit like the one you've drawn here.

Is there anything like that in England?

[peter radclyffe]

thanks John,yes in england,dallimore,pain clark,linton hope,tatchell, h gmay,c and n, philips,stow,payne,soper , in wales the penarth b b co,ive been influenced by 100,s of scottish boats too,watson,fife,mylne,richardson,stephens,

[johnw]

But can you order those plans for cheap, and build as many copies as you want?

[peter radclyffe]

no John

[johnw]

Well, that's the beauty of the Ship Plans Division.
