Queen Mab
Is there a table of offsets for this design. Or how are the plans
written up?
The plans are complete with table of offsets, including the deck and coaming profile.
How many station molds are required for strip planking? Every foot?
The stations in the offsets are set to six inches and the frames are set every second offset or 12 inches.
Thanks, Nels
How much are the plans for Queen Mab?
The plans for Queen Mab from Bolger are $100 US. That includes full size half frame patterns and the video with Dave. The video helps decipher the plans a lot. Thank you Dave.

The name Queen Mab comes from a Shakesphere play, she was the tinest
of all the faries.
From what I could find on the Net, Mercutio from Romeo and Juliet was being sort of satirical in his speech. On the net I found "It should be noted that the name \"Mab\" was an insult in Shakespeare's time because it was synonymous with \"prostitute.\"http://www.shakespeare-sonnets.com/romeo.php
For those who are interested:
William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet, Act I, Scene iv, lines 49-103
MERCUTIO: O, then I see Queen Mab hath been with you.
She is the fairies' midwife, and she comes
In shape no bigger than an agate stone
On the forefinger of an alderman,
Drawn with a team of little atomies
Over men's noses as they lie asleep;
Her wagon spokes made of long spinners' legs,
The cover, of the wings of grasshoppers;
Her traces, of the smallest spider web;
Her collars, of the moonshine's wat'ry beams;
Her whip, of cricket's bone; the lash, of film;
Her wagoner, a small grey-coated gnat,
Not half so big as a round little worm
Pricked from the lazy finger of a maid;
Her chariot is an empty hazelnut,
Made by the joiner squirrel or old grub,
Time out o' mind the fairies' coachmakers.
And in this state she gallops night by night
Through lovers' brains, and then they dream of love;
O'er courtiers' knees, that dream on curtsies straight;
O'er lawyers' fingers, who straight dream on fees;
O'er ladies' lips, who straight on kisses dream,
Which oft the angry Mab with blisters plagues,
Because their breaths with sweetmeats tainted are.
Sometimes she gallops o'er a courtier's nose,
And then dreams he of smelling out a suit;
And sometimes comes she with a tithe-pig's tail
Tickling a parson's nose as 'a lies asleep,
Then dreams he of another benefice.
Sometimes she driveth o'er a soldier's neck,
And then dreams he of cutting foreign throats,
Of breaches, ambuscadoes, Spanish blades,
Of healths five fathom deep; and then anon
Drums in his ear, at which he starts and wakes,
And being thus frighted, swears a prayer or two
And sleeps again. This is that very Mab
That plats the manes of horses in the night
And bakes the elflocks in foul sluttish hairs,
Which once untangled much misfortune bodes.
This is the hag, when maids lie on their backs,
That presses them and learns them first to bear,
Making them women of good carriage.
This is she!

I would like to thank everyone for their helpful advice on glued
plywood lapstrake construction. I'm going to take Garth up on his
generous offer and borrow both the Thomas Hill and Ian Oughtred
books, an option which pleases my cheapskate soul. Later, if I really
feel the need to learn everything lapstrake, I might spring for the
books by John Leather and Walter Simmons. For now, though, I just

I lived for a little over three years in Saskatoon, from '76 to '79. Used
to go north at least once a year for a fishing trip, and started my rapid
running experiences in a 16 Frontiersman canoe at Otter Rapids, about 50
miles north of LaRonge. In 1978 my wife and I with another couple, their 2
year old, and a dog, spent ten days paddling through Nemieben and Besnard
Lakes, joining the Churchill at Black Bear Island Lake, then following the
Churchill down to Otter Rapids, where we ran the rapids again a couple of
times before hitching back for the car. I'm not sure I've spelled the place
names right, but you'll probably recognize them.
Toddler, dog and occasionally wives portaged when it seemed appropriate --
we weren't entirely nuts. Only one spill when we misread the current and
tried to go the wrong side of a big rock. My wife and I pulled into an eddy
for another look before that piece, but Sid, whose family and dog were
walking it, charged ahead. He hit the wave exactly as planned, and rolled
over in one smooth and graceful move! Thanks to him, Maureen and I took the
other side without incident, then managed to pull Sid and his canoe to shore
before the next series (which I think we all walked.)
The Churchill around there is a great river for canoing -- a series of
biggish lakes joined by very runnable rapids. And way more pike and
pickerel than we could eat, even with the dog's most willing help!
Nostalgically yours,
Jamie

Leather's book is a classic, but Lapstrake Boatbuilding, two volumes, is by
Walt Simmons. He has a website under Duck Trap Woodworking, I think. I
believe the books are still available through the site, in bound looseleaf
sort of format. They aren't "how to" in the usual sense, but focus on areas
that weren't covered by other writers at the time. He also offers plans for
glued lapstrake now, so may have a new book to cover that. Worth a look.

Nels,
You have obviously never visited a local library in Delaware County,
NY <g>. There is essentially no navigatable water in the Catskills,
and near zero interest in any kind of boatbuilding; thus, no books
on the subject.
_Lapstrake Boatbuilding_ is by Walter Simmons. This tome is an
encyclopedic treatment of traditional lapstrake construction in two
volumes is US$44.95 from Woodenboat or many other places (including
www.evilsouthamericanriver.com, no doubt). I don't think it goes into
glued plywood lapstrake, however.
The choice is between Thom Hill's _Ultralight Boatbuilding_ and Ian
Oughtred's _Clinker Plywood Boatbuilding Manual_. Being a cheapskate,
I'm favoring Hill's $20 book. However, Garth's generous offer to loan
me both books may finally get me off my duff for the twenty mile
drive to visit him--ain't nothin' cheaper than free!
Thanks to all for your imput and advice. Now I have to go out and
check my mailbox again for a certain cardboard tube from Gloucester...

I have a couple of books on plywood lapstrake. I think the best is

The two good books I found on glued lapstrake are:
Ian Oughtred's "Clinker Plywood Boatbuilding Manual"
and Tom Hill's "Ultralight Boatbuilding"
(this is the one that has an accompanying video)
They're both pretty clear and thorough, with lots of pictures --
though it took me reading both of them twice to really get it.
Hill's technique is geared toward canoes and very light craft --
maybe this is the right thing for Queen Mab. He uses ribbands on the
molds first to provide a stiff backing for the fairly thin planks.
This prevents bumps at the mold locations, and gives you something
solid to work against.
That said, Oughtred is clearer on how to lay out your planking
so it'll be pleasing to the eye. He does without the ribbands and
lays planks right over the molds. So -- I don't want to say "buy
both," but they're a good complementary pair.
I'll loan you both of mine, if you promise to let me sail Queen
Mab someday.
All best,
Garth
If I recall, the building key recommends a book / video on the topic
of building a light boat like this. I don't remember the name, but I
bought the book and video from Woodenboat.

I just ordered plans for this yacht from PB&F. I think I would like
to build her in glued plywood lapstrake, but I have no experience
with the technique. I've found some (rather cryptic) information on
the web concerning traditional lapstrake, but no clear description of
this modern version. I think I grasp the basics, but need to clear up
much confusion about details. Does anyone on the list have a
recommendation concerning a book or article I could consult? I
realize that there's several pubished, but I would rather not buy
them all. It is poor form to spend more on construction books than on
hull materials (which is entirely possible on a boat as tiny as Queen
M),
