Posting this so I don't have to keep looking at "Anybody know anything...." which has been on the front page since december!
So if I wanted to build a small trad wooden boat, as an absolute beginner, what would you recommend!
Ultimate aim is a 95m² Skerry cruiser ;D well you never know!

They are actually plans for an 18' but you can scale it up to 22 . Cant see why you couldnt scale it down to whatever you wanted . They are actual build plans from selway fisher who designed and made the boat for a customer , they then sell the plans or copies of them after a few years . It has a cutting list with it aswell

Nah, not me! I used to do stuff like this, building and fitting them out with cherry furniture, white leather upholstery, corian galleys and heads etc: www.boatsforsalenow.com/SearchPowerBoats/Power-Boat-Details.asp?RecNo=5171 iirc, this is the last one I worked on when it was built in Bristol by Admiral Marine.
Alternatively, I worked on this for about 4 years doing everything from planking, caulking, framing, hatchcombs, decks, yards, and made the tea:www.matthew.co.uk/ not quite as classy as a flybridge cruiser, but equally enjoyable to work on, so if I wanted a boat, i'd likely build my own. ;D

Of course, I gave all of this up to become 'an amateur'
