Jul 3, 2004 · Interesting that this post should show up now. I picked up a pond yacht this past weekend. It belonged to a neighbor who gave it to us "kids" 25 years ago. So, on the trip home to visit the grandparents, I retrieved it from the basement and son and I hope to give "Bourtai" new life on Walden Pond. Here are some pictures:

Apr 14, 2013 · Looking at steam yacht lines plans and GA drawings in Dixon Kemp I am struck by how very impractical they were. In the days of coal fired Scotch boilers most of the hull was taken up with boiler room, engine room, coal bunkers and crew accomodation.

Jul 10, 2014 · Re: Free yacht tender plans The sailing pram at 8'6" full planset was published in Sept/ Oct 2013 Watercraft. The ply tender planset was published in Sept/Oct 2010. There was Spitfire, in another one you could build as a tender minus deck. Paul has published a design free in every bimonthly Watercraft for the last 4 years or so.

Apr 30, 2008 · Well yes she's obviously not a sailing yacht but a motor yacht. Here's a description of the LOG for sale: GERM WW2 FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE THIS ULTRA RARE HERMAN GORING PERSONALITY ITEM. THE ORIGINAL LOG BOOKS FOR GORING'S FAMOUS MOTOR YACHT CARIN II, from May 1939 to August 1939 in case, plus Log books …

Nov 18, 2019 · The design brief for this craft was for the smallest practical motor yacht that has real cruising comfort in a displacement hull. Twenty-four feet was selected for the length, as it is still possible for regular folks to moor a 24 ft. boat in the Seattle area. As the length grows beyond that dimension, moorage costs start to increase exponentially.

Dec 27, 2016 · Re: 30 Square meter I have spent a lot of my life's time racing meter boats from 5.5's to 12's. As a result it really like a meter boat hull as it is so responsive to both helm and sail trim.

Apr 29, 2008 · Re: Hermann Goering's Motor Yacht "Carin II" Lying in the Red Sea I agree with ACB until further documentation proves otherwise. And frankly, I'd find her more attractive without the bizarre connection and history. A boat of this scope will surely have been owned by "somebody." Better a somebody I approve of!

Jul 9, 2004 · I'm still holding out for a recommendation, even though I sent for info from several sources. Like a full size boat, a set of plans does not guarantee success, and I am looking for a pond yacht that for sure works. meanwhile the paper kayak continues to heal, and the new skiff is ready to "plank" (1 piece plywood sides, cross planked bottom).

Jun 24, 2016 · Ted Geary designed a Pirate pond yacht on Pirate's lines. The plans were published in the LA Times and it was a school program, building them and competing with them. The build is pretty straightforward: the hull is built with 3/4 clear pattern pine stock, on waterline lifts ("bread and butter").
