Record 3005/5355 Catalog Record Archives Exhibit Page Home Search Description  Sheet #4 of 4 sheets for a 26' Sailboat known as a Thunderbird. The other sheets are missing. This sheet lays out the sailplan, rudder and keel. This sloop was designed by Ben Seaborn for the Douglas Fir plywood association as part of their set of boat plans to encourage the use of Douglas fir plywood in boat building, especially by non-professional builders. In this boat he has used plywood bulkheads instead of ribs to stiffen the hull.
