Plans for Victorian Canoe Yawl

[Toucan13]

Hi there
Rifling through my old copies of Classic Boat, I came across a series of article about how to build a Victorian Canoe Yawl. I'm researching a boat to build from scratch and think this would be great. Would anyone know where I can get a set of plans?
The articles ran for 10 months in 1991, and the boat was put together by the Falmouth boat building school if I remeber rightly.

Thanks in advance!

If the boat your thinking of was the 'Lillee' canoe yawl then Selway Fisher do sets of plans for two or three different sizes from memory.

Some years ago I bought a set of plans for a Rushton canoe yawl - I think it was called a Diana from the 'shop' attached to an American comic known as W**den B*at. It was intended to be built out of glued plwood clinker planks. Never got further than cutting out the frames which still lurk in a corner of my shed. One of those jobs I'll get on with .... tomorrow. Try their website I'm sure you'll find something. OF

Thanks for this. Very useful link for the dragonfly people with some excellent background, and thanks for the info regarding the american mag!!

I've looked at the selway fisher site etc, but what I'm keen on is something that is very pleasing to the eye.....very subjective I know.

Thanks for you're help.
