Build-a-Boat Australia Boatplans?

Hi

Some years ago - early 1990's - I got a catalogue from Build-a-Boat in Australia with a lot of boatplans for sale for wood, steel, grp, etc. They had yachts, houseboats, working boats, canoe's and what-not of all sizes.

Anybody know what hapened to them and if they still exist where can I contact them?

Help would be appreciated. Tx.

I still see catalogues of boat plans in my local newsagent ... not sure if they're Build-A-Boat, or not, but they still contain many of the same sort of boats....
From my quick flicks thru them, none have been updated, so if you want to build a 50's style boat in the 50's style way, then I guess they'd be fine. But as the others have suggested, there's newer and probably better out there these days...
