[Paddlewise] Skin Boat plans needed {help}

 Im looking  for plans for a boat like the old Folbot Super
 which was 17 ft X 37 in beam {or larger}
 Im not finding anything near that type of craft

 Im needing a wide stable platform type of boat, which will
 carry larger loads.
 ClarkCraft has a set, but is only 16ft.
 Where can one locate a near close set of plans??
 Boat will be sailed, and used on extensive lenght trips.
 Even Stitch n glue boats, Im not finding nothing close to the beam
 I need and length.
 Would  anyone by chance have  plans or tracings for a Folbot Super?
 Or even a older Klepper.
 Im fact I intend on building two larger beam boats... {for a extended
 trip coastal}
 Im highly partial to skin boats, as Ive used them for almost 50 years.
 But the lack of larger beam skin boats is almost nil....
 Any thoughts??
 Sam
