Boats plans library?

[Sea_dreamer]

Does anyone know of a central store for yacht plans? Not just the line drawing that can be seen online, but the manufacturing drawings which would show the layout, for example, of the bulkheads?

I have approached Dehler, but got the simple line drawings...

Thanks for any help.

I believe you'll need to contact designer of specific model and beg him to go through his files.

Thats what I feared...

Generally such build plans are treated with fairly tight security, as they are intellectual property (in some cases they contain enough information to build a new boat), and are owned by the builder or designer, not by the owner of the boat. In my experience getting hold of plans from designers and builders is a bit like getting blood out of a stone, but best of luck!

Have Old Moody which came with the full set.
