In Response To: Re: Seeking: Melon Seed Plans (Bob Kelim)

: John Gardner's "Building Clasic Small Craft" or possibly
: "Building Classic Small Craft II" have plans for a melon seed.
: I'm not quite sure of the title of the second volume. I think the books
: are out of print, try your library.

The original two books (BCSC vol 1 & More BCSC) may be out of print, but there is a current book, still available, that combines the two previous books. Its called "Building Classic Small Craft - Complete Plans and Instructions for 47 Boats". It was recently released in softcover (Amazon.com) A good book, but unfortunately, there is no melonseed among these 47.

WoodenBoat has a couple of Marc Barto-designed melonseed skiffs, 13' and 16'
