Boat Plans Wooden | Carter Offshore 36 Texas One Ton

Boat Plans Wooden


                                              Going on with the Memories of an earlier Post.
In a rare delirious moment, I bid on eBay for this Carter Texas One Ton. It did not happen. in the end I did not get her. If the anonymous buyer ever sees this writing, he can get in touch with me anytime.
Story telling about this production boat from Carter Offshore. Back in 1973, after winning the One Ton World Championship with the thoroughbred Ydra, we could not prevent to recognize the small yearling Ganbare. The Doug Peterson design coming in second place, showed all of us a new direction. A lighter boat by 2500lbs. narrower lines, pin tail stern and superbly sailed; she got the attention. The influence from California started to be felt. For a new response to evolution within the very popular One Ton Class, the next move for Carter offshore was to design a new production boat. The Texas One Ton. Plastrends Andy Greene, later Composite Technologies of Fort Worth was the builder, with molds crafted by Tom Dreyfus out of the new CFlex system by Seeman. The boat proper was a crossover between Ydra and Ganbare, not as light because of the weight attributed to accommodation but with plenty of sail area to compensate. I recall that about 40 have been built.
Andy Greene was an early guru about composite technologies. Previously known to build small boats, the fame came with the design of revolutionary race-car chassis for Chapparal Cars. Later he became a division of Turner Communications Corp.
Bill Seeman. Inventor. C flex. Also, if not the first, certainly the most successful in prolifirating the Fusion system for the Marine Industry. Foot note. I believe Vendredi Treize, the Carter 128 single handed racer, built by Tecimar for Jean-Yves Terlain was one of the first using the method way back in 1971.
Tom Dreyfus. A legend.

Boat Plans And Patterns | From one step to two steps

Boat Plans And Patterns



One step at the time.
But it became time.
So, for a 28 sport fisherman.
This has to be the man.


The Offshore fishing version is based on the Mako 28, showing the same deck arrangement and stowage.
I have added the two pods to offer protection and utilities. One for a small head, the other for personal gear and provisions. To my knowledge there are very few aluminum 2 steps boats, and if any for sport fishing.
