The Model 2

Here are the before mentioned photos of the model that I built.  It is not exactly as I am going to build it.  I am going to have a Michalak style rudder, leeboard, and partner.

  Jim Michalak has a very good book( Boatbuilding for Beginners(and beyond).  I highly recommend this book to the novice builder.  It has plans for his Mayfly 14 sailboat in it as well as some other boats.  His website is http://www.jimsboats.com/.  He has many of his other plans on the Duckworks website. This can be found in my Favorite Links section.  I am going to use the sail rig that Bolger prescribed in his plan drawings with the exeption of making it into a Solent lug/ gunter rig so that I can stow all of the spars within the length of the boat for trailering.  I am also going to use the balanced club jib but will change it if it is not to my liking.
