Dave this is absolutely an excellent build-log and the finished model is fantastic!! I really admire what you have accomplished...so much so that I visited the
Lauck Street Shipyard site and found that Bob's kits are priced @ $600.00!!! Whoa...way to much for this retiree.
I parted with my Lauck 'Kingfisher' retirement kit to a fellow site member a while back, but remember that Bob's kit included a fantastic set of plans that a scratch builder could duplicate every piece of the kit with. Does the 'Patrick Henry' kit also include a good set of plans similar to Bob's 'Kingfisher'?
If it does...I would be very interested in buying the plan set you are done with. I have the tools,wood,skill and tons of time to do a scratch build if I can
manage to get a good plan set.
I will enjoy watching your Fair American build as it progresses.
Dave
