Yacht Plans..

Bloke over on Madeira used to make his fishing boats out of hardboard, shiny side in and waxed a bit, then laid up it up with glass and resin. Ripped off the board. Presto! A hull. Not very true, due to the board being a bit floppy, but fine for a w/boat.

The GRP sheets are a refinement, no waste.

There used to be many creative ways to build a boat obtain found in PBO or the previous mag small boat

Quite right. We wouldn't want all the YBW forumites dashing off and building pirate copies of 1950s traditional wood construction long-keelers in their backyards from the small-scale general layout drawings you posted! 😁

Old enough to know I don't have the time, patience or premises for boatbuilding, and that I should have listened more carefully to the careers advice at school - I missed mention of the potential to be a bank robber, timeshare salesman, Formula One champion or other more remunerative career. 😁

There i a technique of building steel boats from flat steel sheets using radius chine method.

I was thinking of using the same technique using flat GRP sheets over a radius chine frame and once the basic hll is built it can be laid up inside to all strength

I never had any career advice at school as I want to a secondary modern school so I was destined to be a tradesman at best

If was only after I left school at 15 that I was give guidance and went to University and became a chartered Engineer.

I don't think I made any money until I left he UK and started my own business

I was indulging in a degree (arf, arf) of artistic licence there.

I too went to a secondary modern (a very poor one, at that, I can now see) and left at 15. I ended up there following a house move after being in the top stream of 9 in an excellent comprehensive, and the inexplicable decision of my mother to dissuade me from applying to go to the grammar (I had no idea at the time what the terms meant and the huge significance of the difference). I don't think I learnt anything in the two years at that secondary modern apart from basic physics and how to avoid being beaten up.

The careers advice we received was minimal, and along the lines of 'If you're good with people, work in a shop; if you're good with your hands, work in a factory; and if you're good with numbers work in an office'. We were given occasional access to a small cupboard with pamphlets about various careers (the only one that interested me was the Customs and Excise, as they went around in motor launches, it seemed).

The school did once mention 'If you are very clever, and work really hard, you might possibly be able to be a teacher'. That was thrown into stark relief many years later, when I became friends with a couple who had been to the local grammar I would have been applying to previously, and one of them happened to mention their careers advice included 'Well, if all else fails you could be a teacher'!

I'll spare you the sorry tale of my financial trajectory through life (a.k.a. the slings and arrows of outrageous lack of fortune), suffice it to say I now subsist on a very modest pension, out of which I have to support the lifestyle of my landlord, and can only hang on to a boat that realistically I can't afford by assuming I'll pop my clogs at a not too advanced age.
