Searched for carlshipwright its not recognised, and also checked my link but its not a halvorsen design its by Osborn Ralph (Gothenburg)
Guess what i am looking for is a long keel transom hung rudder small dog house flush deck steel yacht 2 cabins plus lounge, 40-45ish length.
The designs by Alan Pape are nice see here http://www.ellida-of-laira.com/
But i beleve his designs are from Colin Archer "Redningskoites"
So the questions i have are:
1) Does anyone no where are there line drawings for something simular to the above
2) when you find a design you like how do you procede next ie see a yacht designer for proper plans,price the steel etc
any hint ,tips ,advice would be most welcome
regards
Andy

Hi Onenut,
very difficult to get plans or lines from Alan Pape designed boats. A.Pape died 2004 and it´s said that his work has been transferred to the Cornwall Maritime Museum. But until now I got no answer from them. I am an owner of a Saltram Saga and made some research regarding the whereabouts of the 30 hulls built in the last 20 years (I found 25). There is one aluminum version built by the dutch yard Habbeke in Volendam some years ago ([http://www.habbeke.nl)[/url]. They might have more information for you.That boat was recently sold in Turkey after circumnavigation. There is also a website for "Ebbtide"-owners (http://www.ebbtide-owners-group.blogspot.com)[/url], mostly built in steel/multichine. The Saltram lines may be inspired by Colin Archer doubleenders, but with a cut forefoot, lower ballast and lighter hull than their wooden predecessors they have much better sailing performance and speed. The glassfiber construction of the 40 footer has a displ. of 13,5 tons incl. 5 tons of outside iron ballast and is a fantastic long distance "keeper". In my opinion, the Osborne Ralph boats built in steel are too heavy, though they show nice lines.

Colin archers drawings can be bougth through the "Norwegian seatravel museum" (Strange effort in translation...) There's a link here, far down, on this page:

or here, contact Jeppe Juul:
http://home.online.no/~jeppejul/Colin%20Archer%20Yachts.html

They're good boats, personally I feel the rigging's a bit heavy....
Colin was known to make things a bit strong, which probably was one reason why Nansen contacted him for the building of "Fram"....

Important to know; he built them strong, = they was also heavy. Modern building methods may therefore be a bit light, they may then need more ballast.

Thanks for the replys
Fatlady i have seen the aluminium saga very nice,i have come across this saga http://www.ellida-of-laira.com/boatfacts.html its the only one i have seen with 2 cabins, with a cabin instead of the pilot birth? and toilet on the opposit side but seems to have a longer doghouse this layout would be ideal for us (have a son and daughter) we could sleep in the salon.
There is a mention on the Ebbtide site you suggested that the plans for the 36 and 41 were brought from Alan Pape widow with a view to making them again but the web site seems to have shut down i hope the plans turn up
in the future.
If you here anything regarding Alan Pape designs from the maritime museum
i would be intrested in hearing about it
Regards
Andy

My name is Graham Harcombe and I am the owner of Saltram Ellida of Laira. Can I be of any help with information about the boat?

[Fatlady]

Hi Graham,

would you mind to send me your e-mail adress, so I can send you the list (excel sheet) with the 25 Saltram 40´s worldwide I actually found? My research was just for fun and not for any commercial reasons. My adress is : bug.welle@gmx.de

Hope you, your wife and Ellida are ok.........

[onenut]

And lastly could you put some more photos of Ellida on it please shes very nice

Hi Fatlady and Onenut,

Sorry about the delays to the web-site. The new ones are coming, Fiji (Vanua Levu) is with my son (web manager) at the moment - he usually has them up in a week or so, Fiji (Viti) is 90% done and Vanuatu sort of ...embryonic.

I would be very interested to see the list of Saltrams, I think over the years we have met about 7 in various ports around the world. My email is graham.harcombe@gmail.com
