Vat's New???

Little Bucko didn't live to long but sure went full steam in the time he had. He's watching a duck in this shot.

The 55-Plus Plan was finally completed! Please note that almost all the DUCK stuff is posted at http://dieselducks.com rather than this site. I "spun off" the DUCK stuff to its own site because there's so much of it.

55-Plus Diesel Duck

   She of course has a backup sail plan!

 And here's how she'd be if built as a straight "Traditional" DUCK. This bumps her to 59' because she has a normal transom. I also moved the house 3' aft, making a bigger fwd. cabin.

The interior below is for the 55-Plus. Move the wheelhouse and bed aft 3', and add more stuff to the fwd cabin for the (59') Traditional. You can get study plans showing the Interior with just the sole (floor) and draw in your own ideas. Personally, I think the below interior is great. It was drawn up for a guy with two kids, and each has her own cabin with a bunk bed in it. This boat will cruise 3 couples in their own cabin if you want to.

As her Lines show, this is a substantial ship.....
