Design Plans

This morning to Bristol to collect sheets of top notch 4mm marine ply. At £95 per sheet will I ever dare make the first cut?



The Plans have arrived





The drawings had already arrived several weeks back, so it was good this afternoon, to finally unroll them and plane up some iroko for the hog, keel and laminated stems.




For anyone wanting the drawings the original 19th century design by John MacGregor has been re-drafted by Iain Oughtred, to a modern lapstrake plank epoxy construction. These can be purchased from http://www.woodenboat.com/
