Re: power sharpies
The squat boards are not needed unless you are trying to achieve true
planing (ie., high) speeds. Better to simply choose a hull more suited
to high speed in the first place. Tennessee was designed to be a low
speed, displacement boat.

There is another good scan of the Champlain picture that appeared in
Woodenboat's launchings section athttp://mkstocks.tripod.com/
The AF4 mentioned by Craig O'd is really a neat boat. Very minimal, but
extremely cheap and easy for a pretty big boat. Jim Michalak did several
stories from early 1997 to mid 1997 on the design and the building of it.
Since he's started removing back issues from his website due to space
overflow, there is an archive indexed by date and design at

I have put a scan of Champlain in the vault. I think I corrupted it a bit
in reducing color depth (it's black and white from MAIB), but you'll get the
idea...

lightweight power sharpie. As Jim built it, it's minimal.
I'm not saying it's better or worse than designs like Champlain, just
different, and probably the cheapest way to get afloat in a power
sharpie. Jim's web site (http://www.apci.net/~michalak)has had a few
articles where he has discussed designing, building and testing the
boat.
Alex:
I may have coined the term "Tennessee Jr." as I looked
for a plan and doodled some models a couple of months ago. The models are
scanned into the archives as 'power sharpies". I bought the Tenn plans
from Bolger, but never was happy with the limited speed potential and light
scantlings. I now have plans for a 20 foot dory skiff "Sweet Caroline"
from Glen-L, which I hope to build with a small cuddy cabin over the winter and
equip with about 40 hp for 20-22 knots.

Bay Shipyard School (www.boatschool.com)
in BC, Canada. I am learning traditional wooden boatbuilding, but have a high

I have a question: Does anyone know anything about

photos on a website?
And what is Champlain?
I am looking for a trailerable power sharpie. Any
ideas?
