Boden "Elizabeth" Steel Ketch

[Michael Rodgers]

I am the owner of a 12 metre steel Boden "Elizabeth" Ketch. I would like as much information about this design including all specifications. Have been unable find out any information on the internet. Thanking all in anticipation.

Cheers

Mike

Perhaps a profile picture might jog some one's memory.

Failing that, some description of the hull, rig, and keel design might help.

The name 'Boden' could be the designer's name, or the name of the company that built her, so the name alone is not much help.

Boden's are/were an Australian supplier of boat design plans from the 1950's, they are still in business, but according to the website no longer support queries about the sail boats. Whoops, never saw PAR's info. I'd be looking in second hand bookshops as a possible source of a book of old plans and specs.

Pretty sure that one was in one of the 'Build A Boat' book plans back in the 70's. I have seen old copies of that publication in secondhand book shops but it's pot luck getting one.

All the book will have is a profile, basic details on beam, draft etc and an interior layout - all of which you already know if you own one.

I always liked their Bass Strait Clipper design.

It would be worthwhile to give them a call, I think the sail plans may have been included till a couple/few years ago. The Poole family was running that business to my knowledge maybe a decade or so ago, not sure now, maybe Troy Munnery... just let your fingers do the walking and talk to them..

Re the Boden

Thanks for all the replies, have contacted Boden, but to no avail, have asked the seller on Ebay if book includes our vessel.

Cheers
