Palm Beach by Nelson Zimmer

22 Foot, Beam 5'11"

I was introduced to this vessel by some good friends who needed help in setting up. They had originally purchased the sheet plans and found themselves as we all do with the daunting task of lofting, translating into millimeters and deciphering the complex construction plans.

Palm beach is an inspired design of Zimmer boldy showing his association and respect for John L Hacker. 

Palm Beach has been reproduced by many enthusiasts but was historically designed by Mr. Zimmer. 

A set-up jig has been provided  to build up the keel, stem and stations in inverted form. The jig is designed to slot the frames into and form the true lines for keel and stem. There is 1 drawing per part provided to siplify the process. contsruction plan and set plan provided.

This has taken me longer than any other wooden vessel I can remember due to the amount of information supplied. It's all there! There are some 78 individual parts and over 100 parts collectively provided. None of the original dimensions are altered so everything translates back to feet, inches and eight's of an inch.
