While Rob ("Building a New Wood Boat") is looking to rectify the lack of Phantoms in TN, I too am considering doing so in CA. I have had the plans/ply templates rolled up in my garage from when I was still living in the UK (1994!), so I think my number is about 948!
Problem is that although I have the plans/templates, and Mark Weston kindly emailed me some mods for the SD cockpit floor, I have just discovered that I do not have the build instructions that I KNOW came with them; I must have lost them in one of my moves around Europe and the US.
So, does anyone out there still have the build instructions from when they built their boat? If so, can they be scanned and emailed to me? Failing that, does anyone have Paul Wright's/Brian Taylor's email or mailing address so that I can try to obtain just the instructions again from them?
Also, is there an OFFICIAL plan for the SD cockpit floor, or is it pretty much a free-for-all? I was talking (via email) to both John Claridge and Steve Boon, and neither builder had used plans for their cockpits; merely did them from experience that I, as a non-boatbuilder, do not have.
Finally, is there a boat register than can be checked to confirm my hull/sail number. The plans were mailed to me on November 21st 1994, if that helps...
Can any of the Phantom officers help me?
Nick in California
