Denis Goyette Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 I know my weekender is still not done :oops: But I am thinking about building one of them next for the kids and nephew. Has anyone built one and have you got any building pictures? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeStevenson Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 I had the prototype when I was around 12. It's still one of my more fond sailing memories. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew_Butchart Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 I've built one and had a lot of fun during the building and the sailing of it. I actually have a pretty extensive web site - http://www.floatingbear.ca which sadly right at the moment isn't working. I think I have to hit a switch or something when I get home from work. If you check the Stevenson Projects web site you can find some others as well - http://www.stevproj.com/SPPBBB.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Weigandt Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 Mind you... I built mine entirely from the Popular Science article which I had saved since High School. I made a model first, but there was enough info on dimensions published and the drawings were well enough to scale that adequate measurements could be taken from the magazine itself. So I might have the first "reverse engineered" Mini Cup in history. How did I know they would be findable years later on the internet?? www.riverbendvet.com/newweb look at the section on "my first boat" John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P Doug (WA) Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 I started on about 1 1/2 years ago. I'm about a little less than 1/2 done. I have a problem sticking with a project. It's a fun project. I still intend to finish it eventually. I used box store plywood. If I started again I would invest in better plywood. Be a lot easier to work with.
