Subject: Beginning of Mariner 35 Production

I noticed on your home page that you believe the Mariner 35 line started production in the late 1960's. I own hull number 4 and the Master Carpenter's Certificate filed with the Treasury Department is dated August 17, 1964. Clair Oberly is listed as the "principal carpenter". I have the original plans complete with Oberly's penciled-in notes to the first owner (jack Farley). I also have the original photo taken from within the planked hull prior to laying the deck. It appears to be the same one used in your photo gallery. I lack the bow-on plans needed for lofting and would like to find a copy. The boat is currently undergoing a major restoration (replaced frames, planks, decking, main and mizzen). I keep it at the Petaluma Marina on the Petaluma River, north of San Francisco Bay.

Steve,

your boat WAS built in 1964.

I'm afraid the plans you have handy, is the best you can do for the time being. What kind of "plans" are they ??? Can you scan and email them to me, to see them ???

Thanks,
Bill

Hi. Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you. The plans I have are blue prints apparently taken right off the bench at the boatworks. They have rust stained staple holes in the corners and construction notes written on them. Unfortunately, they are large format (18X32) and would have to be scanned in 8.5X11 tiles and reassembled. I will do this and send you a pdf or any other format that works for you (let me know what you need).

PDF's are fine. I would appreciate that very much, Steve.

Steve - Where are you located? Many copy centers have the ability to scan in large size drawings as either PDF or TIF files. At the engineering company where I work here in Houston we take all old drawings and scan them in full size. They are then distributed via emailed links to the engineers and our clients. If you are in the Houston area I can get them scanned at work for you.

Contact me at fujiman@fujiyachts.net or call me at 713-252-0409 if you are close by.

Bill, see my response to Bill Ashenhart. I have the scanned file but don't see an option on this web format for attaching it. If you send an address I can attach it, or if you know how to attach a file to this format let me know. I live in Cobb, CA ~ 80 miles north of Petaluma where I keep Chimera (my Mariner 35).

I scanned the plans as a pdf and Adobe photoshop did an excellent job of recombining the tiles. I am not familiar with this web format and don't see an option for attaching a file. If there isn't one, I can attach it to an e-mail.

Click on my name here in the forum to send me an email and insert the files as attachments.

Thanks,

Bill, I sent three separate e-mails due to the limited file size allowed on this site. The first is the largest file and is a lateral view. The second is a plan view, and the third is a photo of my boat at Ayala Cove on Angel Island S.F. Let me know if you get them. The largest is .29Mb.

I never received those emails.

Did you include the files as attachments ???

Can you type in the subject line "Mariner 35 Plans" ???

Thanks,
Bill

Bill, I made another try. The bigger file is 29 MB. If you don't get it I will significantly reduce the dpi (resolution).

Bill, I didn't see a response to my last message. Let me know if you got the mariner plans I sent on my second try. If not I will reduce the file size.
