I have actually taken Chappel's offsets and modeled the Melonseed in 3D. I then created section views and generated plans. The deck will be stripped as well, with small deck beams added. I am in the process of writing and illustrating a manual and will post a general message when it's ready. It will include offsets and I may try to provide fullsize station patterns as well.
Yea, it is a cool little boat. Very salty.

: A slight diversion to your diversion. I thought the melonseed was lapstrake.
: I am not home will have dig out my books. Where did you get the plans for
: a stripbuilt melonseed? Neat sailboat from what I have read!
