I talked with Jeff Lake about finding the plans to the ARGONAUT JUNIOR,
over the last year or so. There's sat least one full-sized replica, and 
the plans for that exist.  However, even by invokling Jeff Lake's name, 
I was unable to elicit a reply from the builder.  I'd still like to 
build it.  There's a replica of it in the British maritime museum
in Geenwich, and contacting them is on my lsit of things to do.

You're going to do the ARGONAUT that was the PROTECTOR pre-prototype?
Add me to list of volunteers for whatever.
