How To Reach People Who Are Building Fun...

The Builder Contact Pages

We have a great number of volunteers who have built at least one of our boats and are willing to help pass along their experience and local knowledge of building supply places and such. These people are a great source of practical tips and even might help hold a board or two for you once in awhile. If you're starting out—or even just curious—you should check to see if there's a Builder Contact volunteer in your state, province, or country; we have people in almost all of the fifty states, each of the Canadian provinces, Australia, New Zealand, and the British Isles!


The BackYard Yacht Builder's Association

The BYYB is an organisation formed by builders of Stevenson Projects-designed sailboats so that they could get regattas together and maintain a web forum to field questions. It's grown into a pretty official group now, with fleets in most parts of the country. As this is an independent builder's association, we at Stevenson Projects are not involved in the funding or control of the group. This is of, by, and for our builders; they welcome anyone who wants to build a Stevenson Projects boat and have some fun!


The Builder Forums...

The BYYB Association Bulletin Board For Messages!

The BYYB association's Builder Bulletin Board is fun and very informative.

This Board has all sorts of news and discussion going on all the time, and is a very good place to ask questions! 

The Messing About Forum

An independent community has been set up by Mr. Frank Hagen on MSN. It's a really useful site, with a lot of good information on various wood choices and some plans info, a great forum/bulletin board, and lots more. This site has been growing fast, and Frank even has stuff for sale like a calendar and cups and things!

A great site, and certainly worth checking out! The forum is linked above, but the main site is also worthwhile.

Having two BBS' to consult when you have a question is pretty handy! There's a different slant to each board—try them both and see which one fits your style!
