Months ago someone here (Ramona?Cisco?) posted a great link in one of the sailing threads to a reference website that had archives of yacht designs and line drawings, including a few pretty obscure boats.

I thought it may have been hosted in NZ, and remeber at the time it would be a really useful website, but stuffed if I can find it again.

I am planning to put together a framed collection of Dad's yachts for a present using some of this info. I searched the site at the time and found a few pdf's.

It's suprising how many boats you can own over the years,here's what I'm going to need to find, and roughly in order:

Hartley TS 16
Caribou 20 (this was on the site)
Windrush 14
Clansman 29
Savage Nautilus
Walker H28
Cavalier 32

thanks

I don't recall making such a post.

Sounds like a worthy project. Google is your friend. Happy hunting.

Most Clansman's are 30 foot. I had a set of study prints for a Caribou 20 in the 1970's, I was going to build a triple skin version. Ended up buying a Status 19 kit.

Not sure of the link you refer to but you can start with the mother of all Maritime links;
http://www.boat-links.com/boatlink.html.

Search on www.boatdesign.net/forums/index.php may help.

thanks guys for the suggestions.

I did look through boatdesign.net but not much joy.
If I find what I think I was after, I'll post the link.

clansman 30 does sound better.

The Caribou was purchased off a guy who built it, then unfortunately took his family out on a dodgy day. Too much wind, scared them beyond wanting to come again, so it was sold off soon after.

It was a great boat for us at the time, made from airex foam, it was our substitute for the much more expensive, Boomerang 20.
