When you know when you are going to Richmond Bridge Boathouses, let me know. (You can find me and post me a message on Tarboard, the Arthur Ransome discussion forum.) It would be fun to talk to you about your project over a pint of ale. (Did you see the wooden submarine replica? That was my idea!) In the meantime here are some photos which you might enjoy. It's a man beating a world record in a Thames Skiff.

Sadly there's no icon of a mug of beer on The Woodwork Forum

Hi,

I read this thread a while ago, and happened to be flicking through the Wooden Boat Store catalogue last night (from WoodenBoat magazine) and they advertise the following:

"Rip, Strip and Row!" - A Builder's Guide to the Cosine Wherry
By Brown, Picket and Hartstock

"Build the Cosine Wherry, featured in Wooden Boat #100. Instructions and removeable plans for this fast 14' strip-planked pulling boat are included."
#300-159 $19.95USD 81 pages / softcover

The picture on the front looks like a classic Wherry shape, and at 14' it's a managable size to build and transport. Should go fast too.

Check out www.woodenboatstore.com or you pmight get it through one of the specialty bookshops out here (www.boatbooks.com.au may have it).

Enjoy the world of wooden boat building. The wooden boat association in your state may have info too.

Regards,
Darren
