looking for steel plans or existing boat.

[Robert Black]

Hello

I am hoping that there may be some plans or perhaps a vessel for sale anywhere in the world under $120 000 USD (not very rich hence the building).

I have built 2 boats previously, both steel and am very keel on that material. I have also sailed from France to Auckland.

ketch or schooner rig of 50 to 60 feet on deck and of a heavy displacememt. Traditional fuller keel and a good stability curve.

If I am to build the boat I want a chined hull please.

If there are hulls for sale anything is acceptable. If you could post pictures and your email address if anyone has anything suitable. Early in the feasability stages so don't get too excited.

Here's hoping

Thanks
Bob
