Last year I had the opportunity to buy a H20 with a destroyed hull for next to nothing. I thought it would be neat to build a tri using the 20 hull for the center and use H17 hulls for the amas, and using the 20 rig. I own a cabinet shop and have all the tooling at my disposal to build a plywood boat and I've got skills with wood. What I don't have is any idea on how to build a wood boat. I'm thinking techniques like they use for home built A-cats/ What/where would be some good sources to educate myself in this department? The exploder 20 thread is just fueling my fascination with trimarans. Any help would be appreciated.


I'm boatless.

Take a look at Phil Brander's website: http://www.geocities.com/phillbrander/
(lots of dead links, but a few good ones).

Nice picture sequence here: plywood Blade F16 construction

Karl,
If your looking for a good book get a copy of
Gougeon Brothers Book on Boat Contruction.

It would be a good start.

If you have any specific questions shoot me an email and I'll answer what I can.

Regards,
Phill


I know that the voices in my head aint real,
but they have some pretty good ideas.
There is no such thing as a quick fix and I've never had free lunch!
