have a look around Ian Oughtred's designs-plenty of nice boats here,beautiful plans.Ness Yawl or Fulmar for example.Robert is great to deal with....

Congratulations,well done indeed.

Ilur (clinker version only) may also be built from a NC cut plywood kit. This kit has been completely redesigned in 2011 in order to reduce dramatically the building time and have it easier to make...

It might sound strange on a woodworking forum but to my eye you can have too much timber in a boat.I think a painted finish accentuates the lines of a clinker hull much more effectively than a bright...

Can't wait for the launch report.

Materials should come in under budget with a little care;the designer reckons about 50 hours construction to the finishing stage once the panels are...

I'll have to see what's in the plans when they arrive and go from there.Your stringer idea is a great one,I've never built lighter than 6mm before and have never needed to look into that method,but...

The 3 clinker boats I've built have all been off plans using a strongback and molds at 500-600 station spacings showing the plank locations,each strake is fixed and the bevel shaped using the mould...

Hadn't thought about taking her out that far,I was thinking of more enclosed waters,we'll see.The boat isn't built on molds,it's simple stitch and tape and glass the frames in afterwards-doesn't...

If you like the boat, and only want to use it solo or with an occasional passenger, go for it.[/QUOTE]
That is exactly the use I had in mind,I've looked at Ian Oughtred's Snipefish,Paul Fisher's...

I have been looking for a recreational rower design for some time but couldn't find anything that ticked all my requirement boxes until I stumbled on a post by Brian (our Keyhavenplotter) on the...

Interesting project-I'm looking forward to more progress.I'm toying with a rowboat for my next build,
Cheers,
Dave.

I'm looking forward to the photos,this is a very impressive project indeed.
Cheers,
Dave.

Jeff,that's fine if the designer provides acceptable certification,but most designers, in particular those overseas,would be unfamiliar with the ABP,and furthermore the legislation varies from state...

Have you worked out how to get the ABP compliance that you'll need to register this boat in WA?You may find it easier to go with a design like one of Mark Bowditch's,he has addressed this issue-I'd...

Recently owned -Jeez Brian,I don't know how you could have parted with her-great fun by the looks of the videos.
Cheers,
Dave.

can't wait for the launch day report.
Cheers,
Dave.

I won't bother with epoxy sealing the hull on this build,I know of a chap who has simply used Deks on a Grebe or whatever it's called these days, and the topsides of a Eun Mara, with great...

Thanks very much for the transom tip Brian,I doubt it would have occurred to me that the plans were the problem if I found myself in that situation,I'll check with my supplier if he is aware of it...

I remember Brian was building a couple of these a year or two back and was wondering how they turned out.I've been dealing with cancer surgery and chemo last year and now want a new build,something I...

Well done Cameron,it's always nice to get to this stage.The cleanup,not so much,but fairing shouldn't be a problem on a clinker hull-any plans to sheathe her?
Cheers,
Dave.

I've admired this design since I first saw it-I presume you're doing the clinker option?The photos look fine to me,if you don't mind one observation,I'd be happier to see diagonal braces from the...

I used 22mm spotted gum tongue and groove flooring for the transom on the Whiting skiff Ibuilt 10 years ago and it's as good as new.On the stength of that I used t & g brushbox for my Yellowtail's...

Your boat came up very well Newey,congratulations.I think I'll give Botecote a try next,I'm fed up with dealing with blush.
Cheers,
Dave.

Richard will be sadly missed here.I echo Alan's sentiments,please accept my condolences and pass them on to his family.
Kindest regards,
Dave.

|'ve seen a completed one with a veneered deck,very nice.It's like the Danforth/Everingham boats from the sixties-seventies.I think you would have no problems finishing this design,David's plans are...

Also,Mark designs these boats to be safe and stable-I'd also advise you to contact him either directly or by a post on his forum-he's only too happy to answer these sorts of questions.

-apart from having very nice designs and plans,his boats are ABP compliant,making registration easy.
Cheers,
Dave.

Just a thought,are you planning on using those oars much?Rowing a 22' boat should be quite a workout.
Cheers,
Dave.

looking forward to some progress shots.
Cheers,
Dave.

Your blog is a beaut,smart idea to get so many of the ancillary things things out of the road early so they're ready when the boat is (wish I'd taken the time to do it).I love Vivier's designs,it's...

very well done indeed.I must build something of Iain's one day.What's next on the menu?
Cheers,
Dave.

The angle of the brackets(2 per side) which hold the 2 slides positions them in such a way that the hull bears on the edges of the timber, so they need to be planed down to create a greater contact...

They have to be shaped so I was thinking clear oregon,someone else suggested hardwood-any advice appreciated.
Cheers,
Dave.

A real pleasure to see you posting again Richard.Tomboy (great name)looks like quite a find-knowing your standards,she'll be a stunner by the time you finish.Is the engine OK, or will you be...

-you can build up a nice bright finish the same way,several gloss coats over an initial satin coat or two,very easy to apply and maintain.Ian Oughtred is a big fan of this for complete...

If anyone knows where i can get ABP compliant speedboat designs, let me know![/QUOTE]
You could give David Payne in Mosman a ring and ask about the ABP--he has a very very nice 5m clinker inboard...

Hope I'm going that well at his age-what a lovely looking boat.Amusing to see that he's caught the bug and is already on to his next build.
Cheers,
Dave.

Chubs,as I understand it in NSW,if you put more than 5hp on the back or if she can exceed,from memory,10 knots,then registration and hence the ABP is necessary.You could try ringing this mob to see...

given you intend to do further builds.I bought a BIG container of WEST resin for about $300 a few years back and it built a 14'Yellowtail,3 canoes and I still have some left,I just buy hardeners and...

-very interesting and informative.Great photos too.Could I ask where you bought the jigsaw?
Cheers,
Dave.

What's this,sounds interesting and easier than the one in the plans.
Dave.

No,missed it for this time unfortunately,looks like a great day though.
Cheers,
Dave.

sorry to read you've been crook,I hope you're back on your feet soon.This is going to be quite a project,can't wait to see some progress pics.
Cheers,
Dave.
