Howard Chapelle boat

[bcd5194]

Hi all,

Does anyone know where to get info/plans on Chapelle's designs? Specifically, a boat called Dandy, a 29' sharpie which he supposedly
designed after talking with Ralph Munroe about his famous Egret sharpie lifeboat. Dandy is supposed to be an "improved" Egret??

Any info/help appreciated,
Brad

I'm not sure about that particular boat, (it's been a while that I read it), but there are lines of many others in "American small sailing craft" book".

His work among others is in the Ship Plans Collection at the Smithsonian. A catalog is available at http://americanhistory.si.edu/csr/shipplan.htm
