John: AndyB's link to "Handy Andy" is the one I have.
Geraint: Hurrah! Exactly the info I was looking for originally. Thank you. The Berthon appears to be of more complex construction than the "Handy Andy", thus I will focus on building myself something like the latter, but having a sense of the options is always good. I may also contact Berthon and see if they still have the plans available, and if they might release them.
As for the Handy Andy, it is my intention to modify her from LOA 9' to LOA 8'(or so) by reworking her with a pram bow, both to better fit below on my sloop and to be more conveniently built from standard 4'x 8' plywood. Shouldn't be too horribly difficult --as Mac probably said when designing Sea Bear's folder...
Thank you, one and all.
