I am trying to identify a boat for a possible upcoming project. I was wondering where I could find photos of Ed Monk's designs. I've done a couple of hours researching the internet but can seem to find the design model. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I have a prized copy of Edwin Monk's book Small boat building, published 1946. Excellent book with 16 designs in it.
My dad built a "Stubby" tender in the early 60's from this book and then several more.
I still own the last of these a 9 ft pram dinghy that has been the best tender anyone could ever wish for, she rows way better than any other tender having won the Benfleet yacht club rowing race for years.
She also tows beautifully and carries a good load. Best of all she has a jaunty sheer & looks smart. Damn good designer.

Any chance of seeing a photo?
