So I am wanting to build a small sailboat (between 10-14 feet) I am wondering if anyone knows a good place to obtains plans for one.
I did a google search, but am dubious of the results.
No idea if reputable, but they tell you who made the plans and after you find the right boat that's enough to find the shipwrights website.

From experience helping a friend build a ski boat I can recommend Glen-L. They have frame kits available for most of their designs and that's a good place to start if you want to build a fair (true to shape) hull. Clark Craft is another old school kit manufacturer. My best advice is to make sure your work is perfect. Any little imperfection in the outer surface of your hull will cause a surprising amount of drag. Fill and sand, trim and sand, check and check again or you'll end up with a slow tub of a boat. Gonna buy me a Glen-L "Flying Saucer" kit (see pic) someday when I've got more time to devote to boat building. Best of luck with your endeavor, and remember, no ripples and no warps.

there are a ton of simple dinghy plans from the 60's available fro free.
Personally, my plan (before I found one free on craigslist) was to build a sail catamaran out of two skin on frame canoes/kayaks with leeboards.
here's a few free plans
