Re: [bolger] Re: Chebacco plans
I misspoke when I said my plans included all versions. The motorsailer is
not included.
I wonder if it's a different design number, like the Chebacco 25.

There is a set of the Chebacco motorsailer plans on ebay right now.

I just purchased the "Chebacco 20" plans from PCB for $250. He doesn't do
credit cards, but seems to have mailed the plans without waiting for my
check to clear. Fine service!
There are eleven sheets and they present quite a challenge since the several
variants are scattered thoughout; e.g. most spars are given on one sheet
which shows the gaff main, but for the mizzen mast, one must go to the sheet
showing the jib-headed rig. The sheets have no drawing numbers or ref-des's
with cross references. The process of pulling together the items of
interest has gone a long way towards increasing my understanding of the
boat's construction.
I'm working on a lap-strake, cruising conversion, version. If you just want
the day sailer, sheet plywood version, life is somewhat simpler.
The plans make no mention of rowing or sculling. I'm wondering if this
isn't an ideal boat on which to try an "yuloh," the Chinese sculling oar
described in "Junks and Sampans of the Yangtse." It would have to be
off-center, or one could unstep the mizzen, or use the mizzen as the shaft
for the oar. (The main difference between the yuloh and a normal sculling
oar is a rope from the inboard end to the sole which supports the oar and
controls the blade angle by the rowers pushing and jerking its middle.)
A separate exchange of FAX messages elicited the suggestion that (I don't
have it handy) Richard's 6 hp is just about right.

There are eleven sheets and they present quite a challenge since the several
variants are scattered thoughout; e.g. most spars are given on one sheet
which shows the gaff main, but for the mizzen mast, one must go to the sheet
showing the jib-headed rig. The sheets have no drawing numbers or ref-des's
with cross references. The process of pulling together the items of
interest has gone a long way towards increasing my understanding of the
boat's construction.
I'm working on a lap-strake, cruising conversion, version. If you just want
the day sailer, sheet plywood version, life is somewhat simpler.
The plans make no mention of rowing or sculling. I'm wondering if this
isn't an ideal boat on which to try an "yuloh," the Chinese sculling oar
described in "Junks and Sampans of the Yangtse." It would have to be
off-center, or one could unstep the mizzen, or use the mizzen as the shaft
for the oar. (The main difference between the yuloh and a normal sculling
oar is a rope from the inboard end to the sole which supports the oar and
controls the blade angle by the rowers pushing and jerking its middle.)
A separate exchange of FAX messages elicited the suggestion that (I don't
