Re: Cosine Wherry Kit

Flounder Bay boat lumber still has their web site up and I think they could answer your questions via Email.
http://www.flounderbay.com/

I had visited the store/shop when I was looking to build the Cosine Wherry, got a full tour of the facilities, great folks to deal with.
They had a loose leaf binder in the store with builder's names and addresses with some pictures of each finished boat if the builder provided some.

Sorry to see them go.
I hope someone as commited to the business takes over.

 I think that Flounder Bay is out of business.
 I've forgotten who sells the Cosine Wherry plans, but stretching the length a bit is not a big thing.   Just increase the station spacing proportianally.   I wouldn't go beyond 16'.   I've never felt that the kits were a good deal for the money.  If you have a table saw and a router table, milling the strips is not a big deal.  The plus is that you can control unnevenness in coloration.  If  you insist, you can buy strips from www.noahsmarine.com or from www.newfound.com..  Call 'em.  There can suggest other good designs.

Hi all, 6 month or so lurker here making my first post to the group.

Since Will Dixon has posted about his Cosine Wherry (nice job BTW
Will) I thought I'd post about what I've been searching for.

I got the bug to build a Cosine Wherry for fishing and pleasure rowing
the first time I saw one! So I surfed the net, joined and monitored
this group, and bought the book.

However, for a couple of reasons, I would like to build a longer
version with the expectation that it would carry more weight than the
original. I saw many sites that offered complete kits, but only one
that had an extended version that was not available due to limited
cedar supply(?).

So bacially I have two questions; first, is there an extended version
offered as a kit that anybody knows about? Second, if not, how do I
modify the plans to make one?

TIA,

Jay
