Hi all Some may know i have a Norman 32 which i will extending to 44 foot by making the middle extension myself, unless i can get another Norman of same profile to do it then Cut n Shut it. BUT this question is about me making my own extension. It would go both ways i guess with either Cut n Shut or new extension. I have plans in my head on what i am going to do to make this work with the stringers and bearers etc to join the extension. So can anybody advise a local good structural boat/maribne engineer around Manchester i can go to with my plan to see what they can advice and think of it. Admiral Faffer  |

I'd not bother tbh, its common sense, hard work and sticky hands good video ... crap commentator Ny god that was painful to watch, got fed up 1/2 way through. Get the idea of there way to do it though Gazza. Now guys, if its doable then its a good project for me with a big gain for what i want. If i could find a 44+ cruiser NB then that wold bethe first stopto get one, i ave been looking for a long time and no able to find one. Unless any of you guys know of one or a make? And come on, hassle, you still dont know me to well. Its not just the end product. Its what i get from it when finished being loads of room on a boat i like the look of, and actually doing it i get a buzz from. Its my hobby The only thing that will stop me from doing this if a professional says its a no geor or if i think its going to cost more than i am happy to pay to stretch it. Admiral Faffer |

Several years ago on the now defunct Dawncraft owners forum, there were tales of a few forty odd foot Dawncraft. There must be one or two still around. AFAIK the DCs had more headroom than the Normans.
