90% of our plans are for "stitch and glue", the easiest boat building method that ever existed. No woodworking skills or special tools are required: see the pictures in our tutorials. You must use fiberglass and resin, something you can learn in one hour with our trial kit. There is never any lofting with our plans: we did the lofting for you. All dimensions are given for parts such as side panels and frames: you can cut them flat on the floor. No need to make patterns from a jig! For all small boats, we also supply paper patterns. Builders of larger boats prefer to scribe the outline of the panels from the dimensions: it is more accurate. We always show details like the ideal nesting of the plywood parts on standard plywood panels. All plans are sold with building notes. Altogether, our plans are very detailed and easy to build from.
