Question:
About 5 years back a friend of mine had a small pram sailboat that he had
built in is backyard. Since I'm a houseowner now, I figured I'd give it
a try. Anyone know where I can find plans for a small sailboat, nothing
very fancy at all. The one I'm thinking of was basically shaped like the
dumb picture below, with flat angled walls, and a single sail close
to the middle of the boat. Anyone have any ideas where to look?
Answer:
Get a copy of Dynamite Payson's "Build the Instant Boats". There are a
number of easily built designs, but a really nice pram is the Nymph
design. It can be build from the plans in the book from 1/4" ply in a
couple of weekends. The finished boat has much better lines than the one
in your picture!
