Look at the FB11 on Bateau.com:

Looks like a nice little boat.

Chuck C., Excited because my sail kit from Sailrite just showed up today.

David,
I'll send it out this AM. I could also fax it if you have a fax number.
Regards, Warren
Foster and all;

I have plans for the nesting dinghy "Two Bits" by Danny Greene, N.A.
LOA 9' 5" Beam 4' 2" 4" Draft Board up. It is stitch and glue built
from 1/4 " ply. There are plans included for a sailing version and outboard
mounting bracket.. I must have had these plans for almost 20 years.
Obviously not a boat that has become wildly popular over the years, but my
impression is that Greene is generally well thought of.
I would be happy to swap for old Boatbuilding magazines or books on boat
design, construction or camp cruising. Think I originally paid either $25 or
$35.

Best regards, Warren
Foster,
I haven't built it or seen it but liked the drawing for "Halfling" at
Sponberg Designs -- their web address is:

Good luck - Larry
