i need some handholding I guess....

Rich,

No they are not mine. None of mine exists. The guy who designed and build it claims even he does not have plans. He retired years ago and did not keep a copy. Also, each of his boats was custom made, and no two were exactly alike. Hulls were the same, decks came from same molds but what went on varied. Interiors were to that customers request made from hand sketches.

The lines are from a famous boat: "Eric" My lines are similar but not exact and some differences from Eric which was wood.

See: http://www.atkinboatplans.com/

Many other boat designers used this design or its forebearers as the basis for many boat designs. Originally they were in wood and then evolved into FRP and steel.

For an interesting read about the basic design see:

And of course do not forget Vito Dumas.

Nice boat (ERIC). When was yours constructed? Gaff or jib headed? Wood, FRP or steel?

Photos?

We're gonna have to relate this thread to O'day somehow before it gets moved

"2. what kind of knot meter can i mount on my boat that will fit onto the propeller that already is already mounted (see pic on left). I looked at moor gauges online but am unable to find any mounting instructions.
3. what depth gauge would mount on the sensor i already have...pic in the middle."


That's another project I've got lined up.
Where are your transducers mounted?
I'm probably going with a Raymarine st40 tridata speedo and depth.
What do you have now? Sometimes you can mix brands on the transducers
