    Hopefully we will be out sailing on monday. Just need a lot of work-work finished and some boat work. In the meantime enjoy this picture from spring, on the painted transom:

    • Hi there
      Found your beautiful boat whilst checking out designs for a 35-40 junk rigged boat. I wish to build myself as have all the facilities and expertise here where I live in Indonesia.
      Could you please advise where I may purchase the study plans from.
      Regards
      Peter

    • Stunning image!

    • Sorry I didn’t answer earlier, Peter. I recommend that you check out http://www.macnaughtongroup.com and send a mail to Tom MacNaughton. He has several designs like this one and his recommendations are always worth listening to.

    • Hello – from Alaska.

      What would you change in building another of MacNaughton’s 36′- (30′, 25′, 22′, 15′ Coin Series sailboats) if you were to do it all over again?

      (I’m in the process of building a Farthing 15′ is why I’m interested in what you might say.)

      Best Regards,
      Eric Crossen

    • Hi Eric,
      In short, I would try to follow Toms instructions as close as possible. For example, we routed out the deck-strips to make planking easier. It made things more difficult. Much better to just follow Toms advice as close as possible. Another thing I would do is to be more careful with planking, for example scrape off all epoxy while planking. Then the time consuming fairing will be quicker.
