painting

Hello John, I suspect you mean Carvel, that is planks joined edge to edge, rather than the over lapping of Clinker. First off chose a paint manufacturer whose paints you can buy locally, Blakes or International etc and stick with one company.... Get their booklet, normally given away freely, giving ...

Hello Wally, the rudder will have been a one off to the drawings, they all were, so no one shop for bits sadly. If the rudder is in that much of a state I would suggest removing it all and strongly consider going for the MG transom hung version instead. See the hints and Tips page for the drawing! I...

Yes Moray is now also making or supplying a set of rudder fittings for Brendan with the Wild Duck 'Tarka'.

I have a few bits from him too, to fit on my 16ft open boat when I can drag it out to work on it!

Nice chap too!

3 Tonner sheets

Hello Len, we are just short of 1 sheet, the alternative gaff rig sheet. One of our Steering Group thinks he may even have a copy of this, but as he is in total upheaval from a house move, it has not been found yet! Certainly all the hull drawings are there. contact us by E-mail if you want a CD and...

Boat building books

I was heavily involved with the editing and updating of Michael Verney's 'Building Chine Boats'. I had it reprinted, then a twerp on the old eoa lost all the metal plates for it, so I had to have a copy of my own scanned and redone for a later reprint! It used to be sold by the old eoa years ago, bu...

Drawings available

Hi Len, Double chine and single chine have both been about for years, and yes a single chine boat is more spacious inside too, see the Thames Barges or the WW or Eventide.... they do not sail badly either, for as the boats heel the hull presents a Vee to the water and therefore cuts it better.
