DXF Files are available to allow cutting files to be made

For individual builders there is a fee for use of the DXF files. Where 4 or more plans are ordered the purpose is a community organisation or club build the fee may be waived. Please contact me to discuss your project.

Building Videos with additional Notes are Available

Note that these Videos are of the group build method where we use nails to attach the decks and bottom of the boat. We do this so that the next step can proceed immediately.

Most people building at home will use temporary screws for assembly as having no permanent fastenings makes repairs much much easier.

The biggest difference to the video approach for most home boat building is that bronze nails will not be used.

That temporary drywall/plasterboard screws (black screws) will be used for assembly and then removed.

We totally trust the glue – 100 boats in the Philippines over 5 years can’t be wrong!

Here is the link to the videos. Follow the plans. 90% of major mistakes are because the plan method is changed. Videos are to assist only and there are important additional notes on each page.
