Boat Forum / Building / May 2005Excellent site for Boat Plans
I found this great site for boat plans, it even has *************** downloadable plans just look way at the bottom of each boat description at the last link to the .zip file. You will need some sor of CAD program to read the dxf-format though http://www.boatplans.dk -- Yellowchase <img src='http://www.hookandsinker.com/1524.gif' border='0' alt='use posted image' /> -If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there' be a shortage of FISHING poles. > You will need some sort > of CAD program to read the dxf-format though.

Would there perhaps be a free one? -H Hi I would suggest IntelliCAD that you can download for free, It is one of the best AutoCAD clones some even recon it better than AutoCAD and it do offer import of various 2D and 3D formats. Btw It is nice to see a fellow dane trying his luck on the web ,it seem to be quite tradisional designs and proberly very tradisional plans and there are a good collection of different boat types, nice to see.

Go look thru the fishing newsgroups at other posts by this one and you might not think it's so nice anymore... Personally, we used a modified version of kayak plans from Roy Underhills book You can build a log cabin and everything to go int it, which you can get at your local library for free, or buy it (I bought it as there is lots of other neat stuff in there to build). Instead of canvas, we used nautical cocooning (sp?) material... local boat shop charged me $4/boat for enough to cover them (we did this as a boy scout project where each scout built a kayak). Each scout had to bring 12 x 1 gallon milk containers with lids for flotation... A word of warning about using the stuff however... if you heat it, it strinks tight and is more suseptable to tearing, if you don't heat it, it's much stretchier and tears less... http://www.chicagopaddling.org/lilyak.jpg is a picture of one of our kayaks. Those paddle ends are schedule 25 PVC heated using a heatgun and flattened... We were under $25/scout for the kayak project. Other scout projects we've done (windmill, pvc klondike sled, vinyl gutter ski's) are at http://www.chicagopaddling.org/scout.html 2 weeks ago, we built catapults with cub scouts... it seemed they all had fun launching marshmellows... we did foot long catapults with 1x3's and 1x2's, a few doll rods as stopper and hinge and using a clothspin trigger mechanism. Being a scout leader has long been the excuse I tell my wife for buying tools: "But, I need that new router table for our next scout project..." ;-)  SignatureJohn Nelson ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chicago Area Paddling/Fishing Page http://www.chicagopaddling.org http://www.chicagofishing.org (A Non-Commercial Web Site: No Sponsors, No Paid Ads and Nothing to Sell) Hi "Go look thru the fishing newsgroups at other posts by this one and you might not think it's so nice anymore... " True like when you enter an usenet architecture group what you see is items like "sex on a bike", sure , this is the hotspot of the week for usenet group alt.architecture. Then I wonder how an naive promoting of quite quite tradisional blueprints for a hobby thing shuld mane anyone vorry -- don't we all know that there are a myriade of AutoCAD clones and as said in this tread, this is just about trasferable file formats inbetween different more or less stupid programmed CAD programs. Well then you proberly know that my promoting of 3D-Honeycomb just stand out even more clear, as if this is just a discussion about how the good old rutines and 2D drafting systems havn't develobed into a visionary 3D solution , please just look at my signature ; realy I thought that this was a tread about boat plans --- have you guy's ever thought about what a profesional boatsbuilder, one of those who acturly learned the crafts, would think reading the nonesense that often show in a boatsbuilding group ? What would you guy's think if some jerk came and knew anything about your profesional skills and acted as a true babarian and a pissoff ? Can you proivide an example? I personally am interested in whether this is spam, but have a _negative_ interest in fishing.... >Go look thru the fishing newsgroups at other posts by this one and you might >not think it's so nice anymore... : Can you proivide an example?

This puppy works like a champ and reads AutoCAD files too. BTW, DXF files are 'drawing exchange' files. It's just a cross-platform format that lets you share drawings between otherwise incompatible graphics programs. http://www.progecad.com Brian D >> I found this great site for boat plans, it even has **************** >> downloadable plans just look way at the bottom of each boats [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > -H Noting that the LT version of the software is free but still must be registered. I think it works for awhile, then you fill out the usual address info in their online registration form and they send you an authorization code that gets rid of the nagware notices when the program starts up. I for one, believe that if you like a particular package, that it's worth paying for and ProgeCAD is a very good AutoCAD replacement and a helluva lot cheaper. No affiliation ...I'm just cheeeaaaap and these folks put together a good product. I think letting you go free is good marketing for them ... Brian D > Here you go.

The guy seems to run a forum page not directly connected to the sales area. However, there have been many similar posts that are spams to the person's own sites. The (probable) misunderstanding is understandable <G> Usually, a deial from the OP will sort this out. > I found this great site for boat plans, it even has **************** > downloadable plans just look way at the bottom of each boats > description at the last link to the .zip file.
