Mini-Cup, Tracey Brown, FL
"This is my first try at building anything of this type, all I used was the tools listed ( it was also all I had). I bought everything from the ACE hardware around the corner from my house. I worked weekend and evenings and start to finish it took a month. I chose the mini cup since it would be a great boat to teach the kids with and I needed to convince myself I had the stamina to see a project through. I did it all completely by myself except for building the sail, my wife helped with that, it is an easy one man project. I do recommend you read the complete manual prior to starting, I did not, and it cost me a few extra hours of time and a few extra dollars, but it seemed the manly thing to do at the time. Over all it was great fun to build, it appears to be very rugged and should last a good long time."

Mr. Butchart sent us these Mini-Cup pics. Mr. Butchart is also the person who has digitised the Mini-Cup plans which we have HERE. Mr. Butchart's efforts have not gone unappreciated, as several thousand people have downloaded the Mini-Cup plans. We've heard of boats built this summer (2001) in Spain, France, and all over the US. I think people are really having fun with the Mini-Cup again, which is great. It always was one of our personal favorites!
Mr. Butchart has a nice set-up with a launching dolly and a good roof rack for his Jeep. He also has a web page for his Mini-Cup here.
Another new page is up with shots of both the Mini-Cup and a Weekender: Click Here.
Thanks again Andrew!
