Jeff Spira boat plans

Bill I would be very much interested in the Key Largo plans, especially since you mentioned you lengthened it to 27'.

 

Zman -
Is that one of your builds in your member file photo? Looks like a nice boat - good job! What/who's design is it? More pics of it, please!
Thanks !

 

Sad to hear the news about Jeff's passing, he seemed like such a good guy with some incredible boat designs. Came here looking to see if anyone had any unused plans for a Carolinian Carolina Dory they would be a willing to part with or had updates on his designs being sold elsewhere. Thanks!

 

I have Seneca plans but would preffer to build a Tillamook would you be willing to trade?

 

I'd be interested in Tillamook plans too. ..

 

Personally looking for plans for something in the 35' or larger I can turn into a liveaboard for the great loop.

 

Which others? I have Nova Scotia Dory 16

 

Good afternoon, I’m new to the forum but a long time fan of Jeff Spira. It’s sad to hear of his passing but it’s nice to know that his legacy will live on around the world.

Would anyone happen to have plans for the 19’ Anacapa Offshore Pacific Power Dory? This has been a favorite design that I am finally in a position to build.

Thank you!

 

I have built the Tillamook. I can help you out.

 

I can only believe Jeff would want his life's work to continue and not end with his passing. For a few dollars Jeff provided me not only with a great boat but some serious life skills learned while building it. I can't think of a better way to honor Jeff's legacy than by building his boats.

 

Do you still have the Tillamook 17' plans I could get from you?

 

I have Albion plans I never built.

Isn't the Anacapa the same except with, as Jeff wrote "I took my very popular 19' Albion and gave it the offshore treatment, raising the sides and adding a self bailing deck and splash well to keep following seas from coming over the transom. The result is a great coastal dory, very stable, very economical and very safe to use in coastal conditions. It'll hop up on a plane with power as low as 40 horses and cruise and eat up swells, chop and sloppy water to bring you home safely. It's named after the closest of Southern California's Channel Islands, Anacapa, about 30 miles off the coast of Ventura California."

 

How about a lifeboat? Maybe you only have to build the cabin. Diesel engines on those are usually like new.
Here's one that would make a nice live-aboard: 1986 Used Ltm LANE MOTOR LAUNCH LIFEBOAT Life Boat For Sale - $13,250 - Yakima, WA https://moreboats.com/boats/ltm/lane-motor-launch-lifeboat/452482

 

Here is an interesting thread on this forum about lifeboat conversions -

I need help also. I had been talking to My Spira and so sad that he passed. I am an American in the Philippines and struggle to care for my children - a single dad on disability and also feeding extended family- we need a boat like 23' Offshore style Pacific Power Dory -- to help us do that, does anyone have plans for that one or know someone that could help me ?
