I really doubt you will find plans for THE "DaySailer" as it's construction is controlled by the class; however, there are some alternatives you might want to consider.
One is a 16 foot design that comes from Australia or New Zealand by Bill (?) Hartley. Known as the Trailer Sailer 16, it looks similar to a Daysailer, but has a bigger cuddy. It can be seen on the web at
http://www.home.aone.net.au//rfy/nswts16.htmThe design is available in the US from Clarkcraft (
http://www.clarkcraft.com - they don't mention it on their web page however). One of the photos on the first link shows a TS16 planing and about to jump off the top of a wave. There must be a bunch of these around - Clarkcraft claims it is their most popular sailboat design and they have been selling this design for a LONG time. My catalog is about 10 years old and the photos have that 50s-60s look.
If you are interested in a design by Uffa Fox, Woodenboat magazine has a planing sailboat design that looks very similar to the lines of the Daysailer (but without the cuddy); the construction looks challenging - cold-molded wood over steam bent frames (and lots of them).
There are a lot of designs for small sailboats. Check out

Good Luck
