At last - free online designs for a skiff and a racing punt

05:29 pm on Dec 22nd 2006 Gavin Atkin

Another piece of excellent news today was these two sets of free online boat plans from the Thames Traditional Boat Society. They are nice drawings too. What a great bunch of people! Thanks to Mark Albanese for letting me know they were online.

How about these for a project for next year? If you build them please let us know at www.intheboatshed.net - we’d love to put up a post or two about your project.

    I’m glad to be able to report that I’ve got this link working again.

    Do please let me know of any dead links you find!

    Thanks,

    Hi!! We are setting up a very simple pretend boatyard in our primary school! I am writing to ask if you have any plans or blueprints that we could put up on the wall, simply for ideas and general discussion! Our four to seven year olds would be delighted and would not be attempting to copy your designs!!

    Thank you,

    Anne -

    I’m sure we can help, but I have to rush to work this am.

    How about a little model-making exercise with the kids to add to the experience?
