..just to be persistant: This is what I was thinking of, just in stitch and glue..and perhaps less cabin and more deck space?

It's one of John Welsford's designs, the 18' Swaggie based on a junk.

..so, what's your opinion on that, Jacques? - And by no means hold back ;)

Hmmm ... everybody is very, very quiet about this ...

Ok, I'll take the risk of asking the question that's on everybody's mind, I'm sure. Jacques, any news about Adelie 16? (please, don't shoot the messenger :wink: )

Warning: To those really looking forward to have an AD16, please be advised that the messenger sent to ask for an update on the plans development has been ... ignored. You better find another way of having that information :P :P .

Yes, I saw that. I was just kidding really. My sense of humour may need some fine tunning ...

Construction equipment uses a dangerous backing signal, Perhaps you could have a dangerous laughing signal...... :D

That is very different boat. There are other designs like that by Benford and Mc Naughton: heavy displacement deep boats, not trailerable. Not a week-end boat and so deep you'll run aground in the ICW or Bahamas.

OhOh . . . we offended you by not responding fast enough?
:)

Sorry but we have limited resources and can not respond to all messages. We help the builders first then, if there is time left, chat about new projects.

The AD16 is ready since Monday but I want to look at it once more before posting the plans.

No, Jacques, of course not. I was really kidding. I just thought that those waiting for the AD16 were afraid to ask about the plans and might need some help ... :D.
And I appreciate the fact that you give priority to serious technical questions, and at the same time allow some space at your forum for ramblings.

Best regards.
