Updates to Plans
Download Plans
Although we spent a great deal of time and effort in making our plans available in electronic format unfortunately a few errors crept in.
So please use this page to update and correct the download drawings. Some of the errors we have noticed ourselves, but please let us know of any more so that we can update this page and make the download drawings as accurate as possible.
Thank you
Study Plans
As you will see elsewhere, the study plans come with a link to webpages that include the Materials List, photographs, owners reports etc. If you find that clicking on the link doesn't get you the pages you want then I suggest you copy and paste the link into your browser.
==================================
General Notes:
The normal method of marking out plywood bulkheads using full size patterns is to lay the pattern on the plywood. Then "prick though" the pattern with a nail or bradawl at say 1in or 30mm spacing. Remove pattern and "join the dots"
Some of the Materials Lists still suggest using resorcinol glue. However this glue is now outdated. Now I recommend using epoxy throughout, but you can use polyurethene glue for strip planking and also for non structural or lightly loaded above water joints. Always use epoxy below the WL.
====================================
