Just found this site, so I'm new. I just emailed designergraham with a few questions. Can't wait to hear from him. I have built 2 boats. An Arch Davis Penobscot 14, and just completed a Haven 12.5 last month. They both sail wonderfully. I about fell over when I saw plans for the Ocracoke 20. I had just about settled on Arch Davis's Jiffy V-22 for my next build. Its the right size for my fish and dive plans. It has a small cuddy and open enclosure. Then I saw the Ocracoke. I had owned a Ricky Scarborough, 1978 31ft. for 5 yrs and building a Carolina boat was a dream, but I could find no plans. Boom, there it is.
My question to designergraham is this. Can the plans for the Ocracoke be expanded to come close to the size of the Jiffy V-22 or can I add the cuddy and open enclosure to the Ocracoke without adversely affecting the stability of the Ocracoke? I read in this forum somewhere about programs for design, perhaps their is a program I can use to expand the plans of the Ocracoke to the 22 x 8.5 ft. size. Or perhaps designergraham could do that for a fee. I didn't ask him that yet. Anyhow it would be nice to have another Carolina boat just like my old one, only a smaller version. I would be a happy man. Can't wait to get started.
