    Stoutfellow Class

    I am looking for any information concerning the (Palmer Johnson?) Stoutfellow sailboat class ('30's - '40's?) especially the Stoutfellow 23'. Am planning to build a scale model for friends who had one when they first got married 35 years ago. After that I may actually build a real one. Any links to articles, photos, offsets, lines, clubs racing them in the 50's, etc. would be extremely appreciated.

    Stout Fellow sailboat plans

    I believe there are plans for the Stout Fellow in the book
    entitled "Your New Boat" published by Yachting Magazine about
    1946 or 1947. It contains many sailboat designs and I think
    one of them was the Stout Fellow.

    You can find these books used at www.bookfinder.com.
    I have temporarily misplaced my copy so i can not check it for you.

    See http://www.angefire.com/fl4/modelyachts and
    http://www.angelfire.com/fl4/mft/ec12.html

    Check these web sites for the many model boats I have built including the International One Design that I first made a model from plans in the book "Your New Boat". Later, I made many from a fiberglass mold. Now, there are many scratch builders that are buying frames for them.
