  1. looks good man where did you find the plans for the fly one? ive heard of it before never seen a pic of it.i want to build more boats but i cant make up my mind on which one to build next.im thinking about the puddel duck racer,or the summer time .they both look kewl. but i want to build one that can hold more wait the harley 8 holds me and my son. which is about 210 lbs.and im very pleased with the way she handels expt for her small rudder im going to make a lil bigger one for lil bob.i found it hard to turn when tacking with the small rudder.........
  2. well i took my lil boat out today i got some big winds.kinda scared me when i was in a big reach and the big winds hit my lil boat took off like a rocket.i was very happy with her...it took me some time to get use to sailing i found it hard to get out of the irons, but with lite winds she tacked great.i didnt have the guts to try comen about in the high winds...any tips people on
  3. well i got my harley 8 build i took her out today and had a blast i love it im so hooked on building boats and sailing[/img][/img][/img]
  4. the summer breeze looks cool just what i want to build.thanks very much for the tip. when i get to work on it i will post some pics of the build so you all may point out my flaws lol. im still going to build the harley 8 for my son to play on the pond in my field. i will post pics of that build as well.
  5. sounds like its not that hard im a fare carpenter i have about 2 and a half yrs of drafting. so i know a lil about building and reading blue prints just not sure on the glue being strong anuff. to me fiber glass would be a great add on after the wood work is done. i know that i can steam the 1x2's in a closed pvc pipe. to make them curve.but not to sure on how to curve the ply wood.unless its forst.and thanks for the idea of just streching the boat from the middel, now that i heard that makes me feel dumb lol. ok one more question if i strech it in the middle wont that make it like a conue easy to tip over?being long yet skinney. i guess then i would just have to make it wider. or just take the plans of the pdr racer and the harley 8.and make them both as one cause i dont like the looks of the pdr but it seems to be able to hold more ibs. and i like the looks of the harley 8 with a pointed bow.and it cant hold much lbs.
  6. sounds good is there anywhere i can get free plans for the PDRacer 10' and does anyone know an around about price of building one, reason i ask is ive never built a boat before, and i dont wont to have a lot of cost in one not knowing if it will float rite ive done alot of searching on how tos and stuff for maken a boat but just not sure on witch boat is right for a first timer, id like one that handels good for a noobie to sail in. im open to all ideas :-D
  7. im thinking of building one of these lil boats for the kids as well as myself lol. the links on this page differ from the plans i have for the harley 8. i no this boat is on the small size. but i cant find any plans for a 2 seater any links anyone? if not this boat looks fun and cheap plus the plans were free. and on the plans it doesnt say what size plywood is it 1/4'' or 1/2'' ? ive never build a boat so i dont want to look like a dork to my kids cause they will be helping me build it.hope it floats
