Horns Pure Honey:
here is some more info.....................Roberts 310
This design may be built with either a regular trunk cabin or a pilot house. It is a pleasant, speedy little cruiser that has found many admirers. It is also an economically sized yacht to build and this vessel is quite capable in terms of strength and comfort of sailing around the world.
You can build the Roberts 310 with a round bilge hull out of fibreglass or wood epoxy or in a multi-chine or radius-chine hull using steel or aluminium as your building material. The complete plans include many sheets of large-scale drawings, plus full-size patterns for the hull frames and deck beams.
The large scale STUDY PLAN PACKAGE includes sample construction drawings for radius chine steel and fibreglass plus all the different general arrangement and accommodation plans. If, when ordering, you know which material you plan to build in we can custom you study plans to suit. Only $41 plus postage.

Thats a pretty cool boat, Ryan. I can't wait to see pictures when you get it done! :lol:
Horns Pure Honey:
I will take pics along the build and post. I asked my grandpa if he wanted to help me so we could have a project together. I guess he is going to, lot easier having 2 people work on it together anyway with all the lifting and using heavy equopment, lot safer using the buddy system, lol. bye

Ryan, I am a boatbuilder. I went to boatbuilding school in Maine, and graduated in 1991. I helped build Bill Koch's boats which won the America's Cup back in 1992. This is quite an endevor you are planning to undertake! Do you know how long this is going to take you and how much it's going to cost? A 30' boat will take a team of 5 experienced builders about a year and a half to build, and will cost in materials alone ( depending on what you decide to construct the hull from ) about $30,000 to $50,000 depending on how fancy you decide to "finish out the topsides". It's a fine looking boat on the drawing board, but you are not going to finish it this summer! :D

Ok, so it will take a while but I can hire boat builders from the yacht club. Money is no object for this project. I know I may say this alot but it is true. If I tell my grandpa I want it done in a year it will be done in a year. I am spoiled and I know it but I never ask much of him but to spend time with him. He knows how much I love sailboats and would get me a brand new one from a company if I really really wanted one but I rather build my own and not skimp on the project. I want a fiberglass hull and the best equipment I can put in it. I would be honored to know where you live and if you would come help me start for a day or two or more if you want. I have allways loved the thought of building boats but we have no real schools around here to learn the trade. bye :D
