    Default Wanted !!! Plans for Wilf O'Kell 26' Double Ender yacht

    Hi,
    I have been trying to locate the design plans for my yacht. She was built in 1966 to a Wilf O'Kell design. Wilf O'Kell was last known to be in the Mooloolabah, Qld area. I did a search and came up empty handed.
    This yacht has spotted gum frames and Crows Ash planks.

    Allan, On behalf of all forum members, a big thanks for locating this thread and updating it with the info that would have helped the original poster. There is just one problem though, the original poster joined the forums on May 18, 2005, and last logged in on May 21st that year, hasn't been active since, so dormant for almost 11 years. We do get a few people who come along, ask for something, get despondent if it is not immediately forthcoming, then leave and never check back to see if an response has been received. Unfortunately the person wanting the info is one such person. However, if Wilf designed more than just the vessel the person was inquiring about, others may want information about the designs in the future, and the updated contact info can be located by users using the search function, so your time has not been totally wasted. Unfortunately, I am unlikely to ever build or own a boat of that nature, so the contact details are of little use to me personally, but I would hate to see you unacknowledged or ignored and develop a similar impression of the forums to the original requestor. So many thanks once again for making the effort, and I hope that you are happy to read and contribute further in the future.
