I am looking for plans for a two masted gaff rigged schooner suitable
for R/C. Lenght should be 35 to 50 inches overall.

Tks Doug Moffatt

Go to www.amya.net and follow the links to the a couple places: The
Vintage Model Yacht group, the Friends of the Schooner, and maybe just
dig down through AMYA's supplier listing.......

For what it's worth, the old Sterling yacht America or Emma C. Berry
both fall into your size-range and can be had for around $100 on Ebay
- and will provide you with forms, etc......

We were building the Bluenose though, so plans were readily available for the deck and rigging. However, We found the Hull lines we needed in a book by

Howard I. Chapelle, "The American Fishing Schooner, 1825-1935",
at the public library.

Think this book will help?

Taubman Plans has a nice 5-sheet set of Bluenose, mostly in 1/4" = 1'.

Nimbus Publishing, Halifax, NS has the book "Bluenose II" by L.B. Jenson.
Lots of detailed drawings, including lines, planking, rig, and deck layout.
