About this boat

This was a gift but needed a complete re-build. The insides had grown with new additions and I took everything out reduced all to run from 6 D cells right down low. She had some rather unfortunate red sails but I have now fitted a new but original set of sails. Lovely to sail but rather heavy to move around for me now.

    Hi Chris G, sorry if I do not remember, but I hope the conversation went well!
    I have just looked at the plans and there are no frames or keel drawings as the hull was supplied. The deck and rest of the cabin and masts are shown.

    If it helps dimensions are. 42" loa 11" beam Foremast 40" above deck and rear mast 28" above cabin.
    Best of luck

    Hello Roy
    Thanks for the information re. Inga 1v, I was not looking for a kit particularly as I prefer to build plank on frame hulls using a drawing. My preference would be a fully working model of around 36-40 inches which is about as large as I can accommodate in my workroom, which incidentally seems to get smaller by the day.
    I think Inga would be about my dream project.
    You and I have
    talked
    in the past usually about sail boats and at length a couple of years ago about Endeavour and J Class yachts, and I continue to live near landlocked Nottingham.
    Thanks for the information I will start hunting plans.
    Best regards ChrisG

    Hi Chris G, I agree she is a great looking yacht. First there is a full size Inga IV a German yacht. I think you can find details on the Internet as she was for sale a few years ago.
    The kit for the yacht is not in production but I believe someone does make hulls which are fibre glass. The plans are easier to track down as well. The only criticism I have is that you cannot get to the inside of the yacht without removing the rear mast. That could be changed. Otherwise she is a bit of a marquetary exercise.

    She sails nicely and has an engine as well.
    How were you planning to build her? Where are you based?
    Regards
    Roy

    Hello Roy
    I am looking for a new project and DuncanP has been selling me the virtues of the Mantua Bruma which I find difficult to love enough to commit hours of time to.
    Then along you come with the most beautiful motor sailor one could imagine.
    Please tell me more and more importantly how do I obtain plans for the craft.
    It could be the build that takes me into my dotage 🤣🤣
    Regards to you ChrisG
