Hello. I've checked google, and found mostly oudated stuff, so I was
wondering if someone could direct me to a few key resources for those
new to boat building. Thanks.

I don't think you'll find much has changed in boatbuilding since the Internet
came along. Just read up on what you find, and enjoy.

I'm interested in just general boat building. Wooden or fiberglass.
Sometime in the future I'd like to make a decently sized sailboat.
Plans and advice would be great!

Thanks

Interesting comment. Although amateurs do put designs so old they're in
the public domain or the original pubisher has gone out of business, and
professional designers and their heirs sell old designs on websites, its
quicker, easier, and cheaper to put new stuff on a websites than to pubish
a book. I've seen more new designs and building projects by individuals on
websites than "outdated stuff". Take a look at Duckworks Magazine at
www.duckworkdmagazine.com (the "archives section can be viewed free
without a subscription) for new stuff. Also look in the links section.
Gavin Atkins keeps adding new stuff to his website. The www.boatlinks.com
website is also frequently updated with new stuff. These are mostly
smaller boats one person can complete in less than a year.

There is a mindset which idolizes anything traditional but there are a
lot of other people with websites who are interested in innovation.

Sorry. What I meant was that most of the links I found were dead links,
not that the information was somehow outdated. Thank you for the
resources, though.

Go to google, type "boat plans" then hit "I'm feeling lucky" and you will
see the best . . .

What an iconoclast but so right.

It always gets me how some dwell on one little era of boatbuilding out
of the tens of thousands of years of boatbuilding and consider that
very little slice of time the "traditional" era of boatbuilding. This
is the same type of attitude that has caused the stitch and tape
revolution. As you see, most of em just sit around crying about the
past when they were the only ones who could build boats and the rest
of us had to pay them to do it or work for them for years to learn a
tidbit or two about the trade. Even now, few of them will give out
much real boatbuilding information. For some it seems that it is more
about territory than tradition from what I can see, more or less, sour
grapes..
