    Default Tad Roberts Yacht Design?

    I have sent 2 emails to Tad Roberts Yacht Design in the last 2 1/2 weeks and have never gotten a response. I used the link on his webpage. Is he still in business?

    Tad posts to Facebook almost daily. I contacted him by the mail link a few years ago, it was a long wait for his eventual response. I think he is just very busy.

    If you after plans for small boats, this will be the place https://duckworks.com/plans-kits/pla...r/tad-roberts/

    It's winter on the North Pacific, the weather systems move across the coast every 72 hours and our collection of old boats require care and attention constantly. Moving anchors, bailing boats, and feeding fires takes up a great deal of most days. Sometimes I miss answering emails and I'm sorry about that, keep trying if it's still of interest.

    Tad, I hadn't realized the Duckworks was also carrying your small boat plans. Although the only one that they seem to list on the site as of today is the Shanty 20,

    I just wanted to chime in and say thanks, Mr. Roberts, for designing Ratty 20. It looks so great on paper and in pictures and deserves more attention. If I ever had the money to commission a build it would be on the top of the list.
