Hi Team,

Having sold Shadowfax III, my 1973 ply 30ft Van De Stadt, Dogger last year when I moved to Queensland I dusted off the plans that I purchased years ago and now that I have a man cave have started the building of a Green Island 18 in January 2012...

I've almost completed the assembly of the hull and thought that due to the rarity of this design I decided to share my efforts...

The pictures are on photobucket at

I have made some minor mods from the original design... more so for convenience and will probably make a couple more mods along the way... At this stage I can still reset the design to the as drawn... Next week will be another question...

I believe the boat will be a good source for sail plan experimentation and I will probably setup the hull to take both sail plans and potentially some others that I think would work.

Comments and suggestions are always welcome...

Terry
