Hi Anja

 

My name is Gerry and I came across a article with a picture of the Hsu Fu and  decided I would like attempt to build this so any photographs or articles would be most welcome

Hello Gerry,

 

There's not much to be found on the internet about a kit.

The Traplet shop has a scale (1:24) model of Hsu Fu. This is the link: http://www.trapletshop.com/gb/p/14038/hsu-fu

But I'm not really sure that that's the one you're looking for. Maybe you can contact them and ask if they have any plans. At least it is a start.

Or you might have a look here http://indigenousboats.blogspot.nl/2012/03/tim-severins-bamboo-raft.html

It contains a picture of the raft and a picture with the deck layout.

Below is a picture of the raft Tim Severin sailed in accross the Pacific. Maybe the same picture you found.

It is, to say the least, a big difference from the scale model.

 

But if Tim Severin's raft is the one you are looking for, you can send him a message. He build it, so he must have plans. On his website you will find a contact form which you can fill out: http://www.timseverin.net/contact.html

 

Good luck with the search. I hope you will find what you are looking for.

 

Regards,

Anja
