If it is for unfettered happy groundings and beachings, it may be
worthwhile noting that the AS-29 and AS-39 now come with steel plated
bottoms serving as both ballast and protection.Otherwise, they are all
made out of that godaweful,renewable,stinky,dusty stuff that appears
to spread like the plague wherever there is dirt.About the only good
thing one can say about this stuff is that it is warm to the
touch,pleasing to the eye,submits to glue,sharp tools and has the
magical ability to seductively convince total strangers they can
really build anything out of it. Imagine the nerve of it! :-D

The nearest to this I know of is Lion's Paw, the subject of a chapter
in "30-Odd Boats". It's a simple steel box shape like AS29 etc but the
sides are flared and the bow comes to a point rather than a narrow
transom. It's 38'9" x 9'2" (or 10' over the leeboar guards), with a
draft of 1'9"/5'9" (leeboard up/down. It's a gaff schooner of 15,000
lnb displacement, meant to be built instant-boat-style. with the flat
panels cut to shape, then the sides erected and welded in place.
Sounds easy doesn't it?
There doesn't seem to be quite full headroom under its raised deck.

Was there ever a steel version of either AS29 or AS39? I know he did a
45 footer (6-8 wide) but is there one in the same basic AS shape (8'
