re
waubs bay is 60 foot single chined single screw. if i did make this boat it would be made out of just a few sheets of model ply with a good paint job haha. the storm boy is 55 i think but when they were building her the hull profile changed. im going to try and find out more, i'd make its with plank on frames.

A great investment is a couple of good books.
Two of the best are by Sam Rabl and Bud Macintosh.
This previous thread gives some details ... the question there is skylights ... but the books cover every major aspect of a trad built boat and will provide a ready reference a thousand times during the building process.

heyaman,
I don't want to dampen your spirit but you wouldn't build a 55' carvel hulled boat for under $300K in materials - probably more and at least 10-12,000 skilled man hours. If this doesn't daunt you then as MIK said, one of the best books around on doing it is Bud Mcintosh which you could borrow through your local library.
Your plans should show or discuss rib positions and sizes - if not you can look at the old USL code on timber vessels for scantling sizes. Failing that, take what plans you have to a competent naval architect and have them flesh it all out for you - it wont cost that much and will probably save you a lot in time and materials.
Other books that may help from the library are Boat building by H Chappelle or a similar title by Steward(?).
If you have a bit of timber, maybe try building something a bit smaller, carvel style like a catspaw dinghy (see here http://www.woodenboatstore.com/12-Ca...nfo/400%2D012/ ) as this will cover pretty much most of what you need to know for a bigger boat.
Good luck.

We can all exhale again now. Taking on a carvel project is not trivial, taking on a big hull certainly isn't, taking on a carvel build of a large hull when you seemed not to have much background was a recipe for disaster.
A 5' model sounds like great fun. Good luck with it! It'll still be a huge undertaking as doing a proper repro of a carvel build is a lot of work. Still if you do models you'll enjoy the challengeI'm just a startled bunny in the headlights of life. L.J. Young.

Wait! No one told you your government was a sitcom?

If that's the case,then the library also has a book on building plank on frame models. go to http://catalogue.statelibrary.tas.go...d=MCCBPOF98000. Any library in Tassie can get it in for you.
