I've been browsing/studying your build of the Andrea Gail. What a terrific piece of work you've accomplished. I would like to attempt this. I've scoured the web with no success finding any plans, especially for the hull specs and profile.
Are you aware if there any plans for sale? I can find hull length, width, and depth but nothing regarding the profile of the hull.
I'm not a scratch builder, but I think I can do this as I am a wood worker and have built a couple of ship kits over the years.
Thanks

hello there,
sorry for the late reply, but it's been hard for me to keep up with the site. lots of life event changes. as you might have read, the hull that I used was part of the group project I was working on. I have been experimenting creating multiple hulls from kits. the kit I used was the Billing Boats kit of the Boulogne Estaples. when I was assembling the kit hull frame, I marveled at how close it looked to the Andrea Gail. so when the hull became unsuitable to continue with the project, I modified it to look like the A.G. it's all outlined in the build log........I had a lot of fun doing it
I had uploaded and copied the instructions for both Billing Boats kits of the Andrea Gail. this way, I had more info on the ship. the rest is history.
the instructions for the Andrea Gail can be found on either of these websites. they should have a place where you can upload instructions.
the bottom one should be the home site. if you don't want to go the route of scratch building, you can always purchase a kit. Model Expo has them. anyway, thank you for looking in on her and your kind word. she was the second project, where I went nutz. creative freedom
