G'day Joeh,

Do you have a particular construction method or material in mind, it will help point you in the right direction.

Also what sort of boat are looking at building, mono, cat, multihull?
Cruiser, racer, sail, power?

A couple of clues will shorten the string if you get my drift.

Have a look at www.boatbuilding.com ...... I haven't used it for a while but it used to be a mine of information.

something along the lines of a monohull racer, sail of course.
construction would be some sort of sandwich.

A google search for Dudley Dix yacht designs has some interesting boats that can be built by amateurs.

<A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.yachtsurvey.com>http://www.yachtsurvey.com</A> has lots of horror stories of when modern construction techniques go wrong. Mostly powerboats, but still interesting.

G'day again Joeh,

have a look at the link below and we can take it from there.

There are enough links on this site to keep you going for days and no doubt it will raise as many questions as it answers, enjoy........

you can get a fair bit of info <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.kelsall.com/>here</A> though it's largely about multis, the sandwich techniques are interesting.

Most important to get the sequence right. There are so many variables in what goes where that constraints are invaluable. Start with those components which have no options or very few (like the engine). If you start with the pretty bits like cabinet work, you'll probably have to rip it all out again to instal tanks etc.

Best of luck!
