Hi Guys, long time reader but first time posting!
My names Rich I'm an apprentice boat builder in aus and am facing some pretty crappy times at the moment.
The government has cut funding to the one school in Aus that provides a boatbuilding apprenticeship and I have to complete the last 2 years of my apprenticeship in the next six months or I won't be qualified!
Anyway, normally we would have to produce a full sized fibreglass boat to finish the subject however I have gained permission to produce a scale model instead.
Hence the help part....
I would love to build a scale donzi and was wondering if anyone may be able to help me out with some drawings/plans that I may use to make a boat that at resembles a donzi?
My favourite boat is a formula 233 (I know not really a donzi!) but would be grateful for anything anyone could provide on any boat.
I would post pics of the build on the forum if people wanted.
Thanks for any help at all.
I'm a bit PO'D because the government has essentially sent boat production offshore in the future and I'd like to hang around for the next 40 odd years building aussy made boats!
Thanks, Rich.
