Dear Federico,
Thanks for your prompt answer. That's right! It's the boat that I am looking for.
The problem is found the plan of lines.
I don't want to build something that's look like, but I want to follow the original plans.
If you know where I can find, just let me know.
One more time, thank you for your help
Regards
Navegante
Hi Navegante,
some time ago I fancied the idea of building a model of this beautiful boat and did some research, but I couldn't find a linesplan.
If you wish to do a sailing model, then keep in mind that you need to change the lines of the submerged hull quite a bit to make it work, so maybe it's not worth it to struggle to find out the real lines plan. I have some experience in building models of AC boats from scratch, and what I did was to find a good number of pictures and analyze them to find out a good approximation of the shape of the hull, and then draw your own linesplan. If you wish, take a look at my site :
www.velarc.it. I don't update it much, but you may give a look at my model of Prada and download the plan for free if you wish.
On the other end, if you aim at a precise scale model, I would suggest to
write directly to Mr. Farr: info@farrdesign.com ; they're very nice and helpful and if you say that you're a modeller wanting to build Steinlager's maybe they can provide you the linesplan.Another source could be the current owners of Steinlager in NZ:
