Designer of Paradox

I've got the feeling that Matt Layden tends to shun publicity, but this link gives some details:

This is Matt's address:

1085 N.E. Banyan Tree Drive,

Plans

Matt Layden drew up a beautiful set of plans now distributed by Dave Bolduc. He includes a CD of how to build the boat. For a very reasonable fee of $40 they can be shipped inclusive of postage and packaging to the UK.

Write to Dave at:

Building Paradox Booklet

Don Elliott has put together a really helpful booklet explaining the process of building a Paradox. It can be donwloaded for immediate use in PDF format. The booklet contains many useful tips, illustrations and diagrams, including a selection of suggested tools for various processes. Although this booklet is not absolutely necessary to build Paradox, I highly recommend it.

To obtain your copy for $14.00 email Don at: DonElliott@Localnet.com . Aternatively write to him at:

Don Elliott,

711 Wisconsin Ave,

Box 202,

Tomah,

Wisconsin, 54660,

Don't forget to supply your address and $14.00. It'll be money well spent!

Alastair's Paradox Web Site

Until now, Alastair Law has been the only Brit to build a Paradox. He has made an comprehensive web site with many pictures and notes showing how he created "Little Jim". The site has a section containing logs of his cruises in the Poole area between Portland Bill and Bembridge on the Isle of Wight. http://www.as4jg.freeuk.com/little_jim/little_jim.htm
