I don't know if Aberdeen is still looking Cookiesa, but it was an interesting discussion. I had similar criteria, and for various reasons chose a 'modern' fast boat for my first. My sons like to race/sail fast and my wife and I liked the idea of a cuddy. I chose the Mike Waller TS540 as a modern solution to the old Hartley aims...and I liked her lines a lot more. Construction method seems more rational too. Nice to be able to speak to the designer, he's very helpful.

18 footers
What inmmediately comes to mind are Mike Waller's TS 540 and TS 5.4, depending on type of construction
The Green Island 18 is an open boat but has a good safety margin with water ballast if desired.
You might also look at Barrie Armstrong's Redfin 520.
I don't suppose a Jarcat 5 or 6 appeals?
By the way, these are all Brisbane designs.Charter boat? What charter boat!?

Dear as...
It is a very good looking boat I think it rivals a Grey Seal in 'saltyness'.
I'm bowled over by the plan prices (which are in US$)
This shows what grea tvalue Mr Storer and Mr Lillistone are offering - encouraging the amateur boatbuilder, not just 'flogging plans'Last edited by Fair Dink; 11th October 2008 at 10:10 AM. Reason: additional warding

I'm thinking of going back to plan B with the 15' SCAMP
