Auther Piver's plans are part of the Newport News Mariners' Museum Special Collections.

Quote:


Copies of plans from this collection can be purchased for personal or research use only from the Library. The costs for black line copies on bond paper for personal use are listed below. (See additional information on the cost of Chris-Craft plans.)
• $5 per square foot, plus
• Shipping and handling calculated at 20% of total order, $10 maximum
• Museum members enjoy a 25% discount on the cost of reproduction of plans
• A 4.5% sales tax will be charged to all Virginia residents
For conservation and copyright reasons, The Mariners' Museum reserves the right to refuse to copy any of its plans and drawings.

I do have the plans for my boat, but it would likely be more efficient to use the link Maren provided. Mine are 20 years old, and faded, as well as having some modifications noted, so they would not likely be as usefull to you as a new set.
The mast is on the ground, and we are working on rigging and related electrical. I was too exhausted to continue last weekend, so we have postponed the completion of that project until later this week. New photos next week. It has been a particularly rough few weeks at work, and since the timing meets with the launch, and the last few critical projects, I am wiped out. She floats. She runs, and all critical systems are working.

I'm not in the country right now, but that doesn't sound right.

The Library at The Mariners' Museum does indeed have plans for most Piver designs.
Unfortunately, we are currently in the midst of moving the library to Christopher Newport
University, and the plans will not be available for copying until we have completed the move.
The Library is scheduled to reopen to the public in its new location in early November. A
staff member will contact you again with details about the Lodestar plans at that time.

She is in the water. Rigging is done, engine runs, and just a little paint, and an interior to complete. Here is the before and after.
