The Plans

My son and I chose the "Dolphin" from Svenson's Free Boat Plans that were originally published in magazines and books.  It's a great site if you like traditional boat plans and it is user maintained.  Using the offsets listed in the drawings I also put the frames into TurboCAD.  If any of you require the files in DXF or AutoCAD format please let me know and I will send them to you.  I'll post them here on the blog when I get a chance though.

If you are anything like me you will be resourceful and not give up easily when it comes to learning something new.  I like building things and learning how stuff works.  It also helps that I spent some time in engineering school too.  By no means does that qualify me to be a naval architect, nor do I claim to be one.  Use these ideas and plans at your own risk and be smart enough to do proper research and learn from others.
