In Response To: Herreshoff's Double-Paddle Canoe (Mike Daley)

: I would like to purchase plans to scale for the Herreshoff Double-Paddle
: Canoe.
: If anyone has information on where I can get the plans, I would appreciate
: their help.

: September/October 1984 Wooden Boat (page 142): Plans to scale are available
: from Mrs. Muriel Vaughn, 2 Crocker Park, Marblehead, Mas.
: 1. Are these plans still available?
: 2. I would also like to hear from anyone who has built the Double-Paddle
: Canoe.

A few links for you to pursue:

http://www.seabooks.com/proddesc.asp?productid=P7207 leads to a book on the herreshoff designs. But the blurb doesn't say if those include canoes. Looks more like designs for larger boats.

There is a webpage for the Herreshoff Marine Museum,
http://www.herreshoff.org/

http://www.herreshoff.org/frames/contactusframe.htm

will get you to the e-mail address of the curator:

John J. Palmieri
Curator
j.palmieri@herreshoff.org

Hope this helps.
