There used to be some plans in an archive on the Aussie Moth website, including the Cole Mk2 aka Supermoth single-chine, the Bunyip, and the McFrawd which was one of the last and best designs of scow; the archive has gone after all the changes in their website, and hadn't been updated since 2006 anyway, but some bits can still be found.

The ideal flat bottomed boat
Re: The ideal flat bottomed boat
Hi guys
Here are some pics of my scow Moth, designed in 1972. It was probably a breakthrough design as it was faster than a McFrawd upwind. The bow foils are very unusual. It's currently under restoration.
If you're interested, I'm blogging the restoration here: http://oztayls-vintagescowmoth.blogspot.com.au/
Cheers

The idea was to maximise the waterline length for upwind performance. This scow is very quick upwind, so maybe it worked.Rupert wrote:Wow!

Here's a pic of what it looks like today. It's very tedious work.
