thai boat plans needed..

[the red dragon]

Hi.
I have a set of plans for a "Long Tail" that I created from my memory, photos I have taken and the basic sizes of a 10m boat found on this site.
Unfortunatly for you they may be a bit on the small side, as they are for an 800mm long rc model I have built. However, if you are into reverse scaling they could be usefull.
Attached are photos of the finished boat.
Regards,
Geoff Jones.

I read about a local Boat Builder in Thailand his information is below, I don't suspect he is working off plans but her might be able to take the lines for you. He was building for the The Tsunami Fishermen's Relief Fund, a short-term, non-NGO tsunami-relief fund operated in Bahn Nam Kem in South Thailand. His information is below

Happy Boatbuilding

Thais dont use plans, they stand up some 50 gall drums and set a keel and look at it until they are happy.

The address above is none sense Nam kem Wat is a wat at Nam Kem.

A wat is a Church, such as the famous Angkor wat on the Cambodian border.

Ban Muang is the name of a small village some where as all small villages are called ban.

Ban is also a house as in : pom pi ban' means I go home.

Original post is 4 years old....

Yes, original 4 years old but it is still a source of information for those people who are baffled by long tail boats including myself.
A few years ago I saw accidentally the longtail races by Samut Songkhram and fell in love at first sight on these boats. As many people before did, I am trying to build one of these myself.
I do not know or I will succeed but I have build many boats in the past.

I have designed a boat based on my memories, video's, Youtube, a few Thai friends and off course my own personal preferences.
The result is a design which I am planning to build within a few weeks from plywood.
I hope everyone can see the attachment, it is my first posting on this forum.
Everyone feel free to comment or review my design.
In time I will share my part drawings with everyone.

Hi Synns,
What you have designed is a good looking Boat, however I cannot see it being powered by a V8 driving a prop on the end of a scaffoling tube. If however it will be, then it is a brillient modern take of the traditionl Long Tail I built, see my post and photos.
