PapaFoxtrot Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 This design looks very familiar, with the integrated bracket: 26ft Sport Fisherman Hull bottom is plywood, but the sides are bead and cove cedar strips. It will be interesting to watch it progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smccormick Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 When I first looked at the profile model I thought "wow, he should send a commission to Graham", but the closer I looked the more differences I could see. Of course that doesn't discount the obvious bracket theft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAR Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 The Carolina Bow is a pretty common feature on this type of boat, so not any real theft, as it's been well done, if not overly so over the years. The broken sheer is also a fairly common feature and also not a surprise. The bracket has a number of logical reasons behind it's shape and a designer of Dudley 's skill wouldn't need to copy anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The styling cues are common...and just like the lines of a Carolina hull, there's only so many ways to integrate a bracket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
