Decide what to build and loft

I guess here’s where it started. I sort of fell into this boat sideways. I knew I wanted to build another boat. I wanted a pocket cruiser. I wanted no more than 26 feet so it could be trailered with difficulty. I wanted a full keel. I wanted something old and classic. I wanted history. And I always liked yawls. On cruising the Internet I soon found Sheila, and Albert Strange yawl from 1903 still sailing. I contacted someone from the Albert Strange association and suggested I get the book about Albert Strange by John Leather. I soon ran into Theresa ll and the rest is history. I got three sheets of plans from the Albert Strange association and said about building a lofting floor in my shop.
