Hard chine / multi chine sailing yacht

Hello Haverlock Ken Mzee Tiggy_cat

Thank you for your replies and the information, it's all very interesting. it's funny how much the profile of the Plane Jane looks like a Flying Fifteen (think that was Uffa Fox).

Best regards

The Vic Smeed Starlet would be a reasonable place to start. The plans are available from Sarik and a part kit is available here http://www.belairkits.com/detail.asp?id=873. if you fancied something slightly smaller, Vic's Star Baby sails well and a wood kit is available from Sarik along with the plans.

You might try to obtain a book from long time ago (1950), "Build Yourself a Model Yacht" by WJ Daniels and HB Tucker in which there are plans for a 30" Sharpie and a36" Restricted Class. I have made three Sharpie models recently - all converted to radio control. The last two I made by the stitch-an-glue method having taken panel templates from the original built-as-per-plan model. Not competitive but a fun model in all types of weather!

one possibility is the plane jane
http://www.traplet.com.au/mm-823-plane-jane gives you an idea of how it looks

Where to get the plans
its 36 inches long and intended for free running using a vain gear BUT with a little skull sweat you could convert to radio

Hard chine / multi chine sailing yacht

Hello all

I'm not sure if this would be the correct place to ask this question, but here goes:

I would like to build a sailing yacht (model). I think that some kind of hard chine / double chine design would be best, as that would be simpler than carvel / diagonal / strip planked etc. Would anybody like to recommend a design for which the plans are available ? I have noticed something called the Star 45, then there are some of the Vic Smeed designs, and some on the Sarik website, in particular a yellow job with a cabin, cant remember the name of it at present. This would be for fun, i dont have any interest in racing, so partly i want to build something and partly want to sail something. Thanks. Maybe 30 inches up to a max of 48 ?
