Product Description
The plans set consists of full color 11 x 17 sheets that detail all aspects of construction and assembly. These are the same sheets that accompany the kit parts. We have taken almost all of the parts from the CNC kit and created a set of full size templates on Mylar and paper sheets that are used to transfer all of the part outlines onto plywood for cutting with a jigsaw. A recommended parts layout is provided in a template guide sheet. Parts such as the cockpit seat tops and cabin top are not shown in the templates to save space. These parts are patterned from the boat as built to ensure a perfect fit. Other parts that are simple rectangles are provided with dimensions only. Below, two of the 6 template sheets are shown. The templates are either 1 or 2 stage. You can see the bottom panel in the lower template with a "second stage" of parts nested inside of it's perimeter. Once the bottom shape is traced the second stage of parts can be cut out of the mylar templates to make laying them out easier. Similarly the sheer strake panel is nested inside the side panel. Bulkheads and frames are shown in "half view" meaning one side is traced and then flipped to draw the mirror image side to produce the full frame or bulkhead.
Note: The assembly manual plan sheets accompany the full size templates or the CNC cut Kit. There is no table of offsets of dimensioned hull panels sheet because the templates are full size. There is no lofting or dimensioning or connecting the dots required.
