I've been sorting out some old stuff, and come across a set of drawings torn out of old Yachting World Magazines, from the late 1950's and early 1960's'
Judging by the dates, I must have save these when I was a youngster dreaming of owning a yacht!
These are roughly A3 size and I'm happy to scan any the Forum members would like a copy of "for their own research and use".
Yachting World Design Sheets
I thought some of this "history of design" might interest member of the forum, and some of the yachts may even still be sailing.
I'd also be happy to post the set to someone or organisation who is or are set-up to look after and store old yachting designs and think that this incomplete set of pull-out from Yachting World might be useful.
