In a way, it kind of IS that! Peter Stevenson was absolutely inspired by the traditional Friendship Sloops, and wanted a smaller, simple-to-build version for fun in San Diego when he lived there in the late-Seventies/early-Eighties. The Weekender was the result, an outgrowth of our earlier Skipjack design.

Nothing much, really. No welding is required. Just cutting the roof off and then simple skills to bend a few pieces to fit. Much less complicated than one of our pedal cars, and they are quite simple!

Thank you so much for this note. I agree: I miss having many of the boats we've had to let go over the years. And I have wondered about the most recent one, the Super-Skipjack prototype. Would you think about making another?

At 76 and and with few medical issues I suspect not. But I was looking hard at the new Skipjack for a good while, what a beauty!. I think I miss sailing more than flying.. It was John Leather's book "Gaff Rig" and Family Circle magazine that brought us together so many years ago.@@StevensonProjects

Thank you! I love seeing photos of your Weekender!

@@StevensonProjects I will send some more today for you :)

I agree!

Thank you! I have put a lot of work into it.

It IS a nice one! Great to see...

Thank you. I have put a lot of work into it.

Thank you for your interest in our Weekender design! You can buy the plans and videos here: www.stevproj.com/IntroWkndrPg1.html

Thank you for your kind note! (I used Google's translation, but I was able to get the message.) Thanks! The Weekender IS a wonderful little boat! We have always enjoyed ours (and we've made FOUR of them over the decades!)

I completely agree! It's really magical to sail along in a little boat you made yourself...So wonderful! Thanks for the note!

The Stoneleigh Round-ups were wonderful!! I have some goofy vids of our jam sessions somewhere.

Thanks! I wish it was still around...

@@StevensonProjects I’ve been a big fan of Stevenson Projects over the years, y’all do nice work.

@@Dubcutt Wow! Thank you so much! Peter certainly had an eye for shape, and for simplicity, too.

Thank you! You've posted so many fun vids, so I should try to get the few vids we actually have up, too!

Hello, and thank you for your note. Do you mean the least number of feet to build the Weekender? I would say a 12' x 21' garage would work, Possibly a little less, if you could shift things around while you work - But that would be tight.

Wow! Thank you so much for sharing that! We really love hearing stories from our builders about their projects, and you were one of our original group of builders😀. Very cool, and I'm glad you had a good long time with your Weekender!

@@StevensonProjects I'm also very glad the 'Stevenson' name remains with this (these) lovely vessels because (if memory serves), I once saw them offered as kits by a small outfit here in Canada with no credit given to the Stevensons. I built mine from plans I purchased from the designer Mr. Stevenson and I modified a few features including a rounded beakhead, scrolled trailboards, a boom gallows etc ...all that 'shippy' stuff. So good to know people are still building end enjoying them.

@@fredwerthman1361 Ha! Yep: I remember that group out of Canada! They tried to sell kits for awhile, then happily folded. We once got a call from a person in the US who had "bought the US rights" from that group and they were just calling to see if we had any tips! We had to burst their bubble by telling them that not only had they NOT bought the rights, but we had Never Let Them GO! If you have any photos of your Weekender, I'd love to see them, and add the to the Builder Photo pages on our website, if you'd like. mail@stevproj.com Thank you, again, for the fun chat!

It's a Kawasaki Ninja 600. It sounds great, I think. And it sounds different from the motorcycle because we are feeding the exhaust headers straight into a large-diameter exhaust pipe with no muffler.

Thank you! I agree!

Thank you, Rodrigo! I look forward to seeing YOUR Weekender videos soon! And we are really glad you like the project as much as we do!!

Very true! Thank you, again: That was great fun!

Well, people generally adhere to our original concepts as laid out here: www.cyclekarts.com/ You can also find all sorts of info here: www.cyclekarts.com/

Great footage. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! They ARE a lot of fun!

Thank you, so much! We do have a lot of different interests, and Peter had an amazing eye for shapes. Did you see the latest Weekender from Russia?

Here's the video link: ua-cam.com/video/zgAoOjNiqJk/v-deo.html

Да видел ,спасибо!Красивее Weekender не видел проекта!

Thank you! They're good fun!

You're so right!

Thank you! It is! I'll be posting more CycleKarting stuff soon, as we just went to a great event and met a bunch of wonderful people. It's been about a decade since we did any CycleKarting, so it's really fun to have had a chance to get back at it!

www.stevproj.com/IntroWkndrPg1.html Gracias por su interés en nuestro velero Weekender. Vaya al enlace de arriba para encontrar los planos.

Thank you so much! And you're quite welcome!

Thank you! Very kind of you. You certainly can buy the plans from us, as we designed this boat for homebuilders. www.stevproj.com/IntroWkndrPg1.html Since we released the first generation of Weekenders in Popular Science magazine back in 1981, we estimate somewhere over 500 of our Weekenders have been built in the past nearly forty years! Join us!

LOL! The TAPES! Yep: we took awhile to switch to DVDs, and we've taken awhile to switch to streaming videos, but the Weekender How-to Videos will be up for sale as digital videos soon...Thanks for the note!

Они их продают, а киль из фанеры, как и все судно

Wrong country amigo,,,,,

мне тоже нравится,пока красивее проэкна не видал.Мечта моя

What the hell do you know about it at all dumbass? If you look how he's turning the wheel it is not fast motion and I had a boat this size that would go just that damn fast in wind like he had so shut up and quit trying to start trouble😉

Just to be clear: We DID NOT speed up the video. It was a really good sailing day and I got very lucky with the filming and caught the boat screaming along.

@@StevensonProjects In which case : 1) Congrats ! 2) She's a very fine week-end cruiser … which deserves a lucky skipper as you are. Cheers !

Great Video! Sorry for butting in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you heard about - Joolaim Rudder Replication (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a smashing one of a kind product for getting some amazing boat plans minus the headache. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my close friend Aubrey got astronomical results with it.

+John Doe None! It seems that the sharp chine is enough when heeling.

Here's a few ideas for building boats: Allow enough time. take advantage of done for you boat plans. (I read about these and more on Denelle boat builder website )

There are many components to creating an amazing design. One place I found which successfully combines these is the Denelle Boat Builder (google it if you're interested) definately the best info that I've seen. look at this amazing resource.

Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to discover wooden speed boat plans try Joolaim Rudder Replication (just google it ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my buddy got amazing success with it.

Beautiful!
