S&G: Centerboard Trunk Plans?

Hi All-

We started a group boatbuilding project at our club boat shop yesterday.
We are building a Pygmy Wineglass Wherry, a very pretty s&g rowing/sailing skiff.
We all read the plans, and started laying out the butt joins.

What Pygmy doesn't address in detail is the building of the mast, centerboard/daggerboard trunk, and rudder. I guess we'll have to look elsewhere to find appropriate plans.
Does anyone have a source of plans for these items? I guess they could easily be adapted from another boat. We also will contact Pygmy to see what they suggest.

We will be getting a sail kit from Sail Rite, and one of our builders has an industrial sewing machine for that. We also will be looking for a source for the oars too.

Thanks in advance for any help-
