  If ordering Digital plan sets: These files are in PDF format.  Some designs will have just a single page needed to be printed on large paper... typically if they had full-sized mold patterns. Other pages could be printed on letter or tabloid size paper, if you want to save printing costs. You'll see a measurement on pages that have full-sized drawings, so your local print shop will just need to print to that size.

“Your downloads are ready” will be the subject line of an email you’ll receive from us—once we’ve processed your digital order. That email has the link to click, so you can then download the file.

This isn't an "instant" process, so if we're asleep, you may need to wait for regular business hours for us to process the order. Although we are quite timely, we may not be processing on weekends & holidays.

Beautiful, sleek design. Fairly easy to build, light, and fast. I plan on having a deck at the bow, and stern, with lots of buoyancy. I like a boat that doesn't sink. I live near Roosevelt Lake on the Columbia River, 25 miles from Canada, or so. It will be an 18 footer, with a sliding oarlock setup to reduce rocking. It also seems narrow enough to be able to use a kayak paddle. Gonna try to anyway.It should be in the water next summer. Look for it in Wooden Boat Mag in the Launchings. I'll name it Dragonfly, and carve a little dragon's head on a slightly raised stem. I've been wanting to do this for years, and finally have the time. Further reports to follow.
