RE: [bolger] Free Boat Plans
Thanks John,
Athttp://www.boat-links.com/Ideal/Designers.html,I think the William
Atkin page column has crept out of sync with the boat names column.
If anyone asks, I would vote for scanned images (much more work, of
course, but very useful). Thanks again.

Subject: [bolger] Free Boat Plans
The best place to find good, free boat plans is your local public
library.
With this in mind, and with a good deal of help from Doug Wilde and Jon
Etheridge, I've put together an index to the plans in MoToR BoatinG
magazine's Ideal Series books, which were published from 1920 and 1965.
Some of the designs may seem a bit dated today, but many more are the
kind
of good, wholesome boats that are just as useful now as they were when
they
hit the pages of MoToR BoatinG decades ago: simple, seaworthy saiboats,
low-powered motorboats, flat-bottom skiffs, houseboats, classic
runabouts,
and more. Most were designed by excellent designers like William and
John
Atkins, John Hacker and C. D. Mower. The plans in the books are complete
and usable for building boats.

If you've got any of the books I don't have info for and feel like
telling
me about the plans in them, or can give me designer information or
better
boat descriptions for the plans I've got please get in touch with me.
Likewise if you catch any mistakes I've made. The index is still a
little
rough around the edges, but I'll get around to prettifying it before too
long.
Enjoy!
