Help with launch style
Good morning everyone, I am a new member here and this is my first post thingy.
Having always loved working with wood and now retired I feel the compulsion to build a boat, this probably covers most members here I suppose.
Anyway, what I need help with is the plans for a specific type.
When I was very young and into my teens I regularly went fishing with my grandparents, parents and friends, we would hire a timber clinker putt putt launch from Wilkinsons boat shed at Berowra Waters near Sydney.
This is what I wish to build.
Reminiscence, retirement, a love of working with wood, the challenge of trying something new, a good size work area and a suitable workshop all make this now to be a feasible prospect.
Now I need to know what type those launches were at Wilkinsons Boat Shed and plans etc.
Any help appreciated.

Have you tried looking at google images to see if you can find something like what you're looking for? Also it might pay to repost your query in the main Boat Design/Plans section.

Gut feel is you are unlikely to find the exact design you used to hire.
David Payne http://www.payneyachts.com/ has several designs which echo the old putt-putts, but use modern methods and materials.
Best of luck with it.Alan J
