- pond yacht plans - The WoodenBoat Forum
Interesting that this post should show up now I picked up a pond yacht this past weekend It belonged to a neighbor who gave it to us "kids" 25 years ago So, on the trip home to visit the grandparents, I retrieved it from the basement and son and I hope to give "Bourtai" new life on Walden Pond Here are some pictures:
- The Lady yacht Club - men only - wooden boats only
This proved such a success that The "Lady" Yacht Club was formed in 1945 The name was derived from the yachts that were first sailed "Perfect Lady"1-8 This was increased to ten boats and crews with a skipper, mate and 3 crew members to each crew who normally sailed together during their membership of the club
- Steam Yachts from 100 years ago. - The WoodenBoat Forum
Looking at steam yacht lines plans and GA drawings in Dixon Kemp I am struck by how very impractical they were In the days of coal fired Scotch boilers most of the hull was taken up with boiler room, engine room, coal bunkers and crew accomodation
- pocket cruisers - The WoodenBoat Forum
Most of the "pocket cruisers" in larger sizes are too heavy to trailer I would recommend the Princess 22 from B B Yacht Designs I am going to build the Pricess 26 and it weighs only 2700# You can rig in 5-10 minutes un-stayed Cat Ketch Centerboard is offset along the galley to provide more room in the cabin
- Deck Camber? - The WoodenBoat Forum
My copy of Skene's Elements of Yacht Design says to use 1 4 to 3 8 inch of camber per foot of beam, and it gives the geometric layout So I did a 4' template with 1 1 16" camber (the light colored wood) and another 8' template with 2 3 16" camber (my bad measurement, but close, on the meranti)) however the two templates don't come anywhere near
- Can You Identify The Boat From The Four Seasons?
About 20 years ago there was a woman yacht broker here in Rock Hall, named Grant, who told me she was the girlfriend of a guy named Lance who owned the boat from the movie She told me that after her breakup with Lance he put her on the rocks and she was lost
- The Lawton Tender 10ft - The WoodenBoat Forum
This is undoubtably the source of the lines that the Newfound strip version is based on In that same book is a similar 12' yacht tender from Lawleys, another bygone builder of fine craft Again, this is a lapstrake boat, but if you are comfortable building a stripper boat with just a lines plan (with offsets), then this may be all you need Bob
- John Fords Araner. . . - The WoodenBoat Forum
Ford continued to use the yacht until her rising operating expenses prompted him to sell her circa 1971 Acquired by Fran M Dimond, of Honolulu, the craft retained her name into 1974, when she was bought by the San Marino Travel Service Still homeported at Honolulu, she was given back her original name, Faith in, or about, 1975
