- Plan sales are strictly for building one boat per set supplied. Additonal plans must be bought to cover additional boats.
- CAD designs are supplied as paper prints, not CAD files. The CAD designs are newer, drawn in AutoCAD and are more accurate and more clearly detailed than the hand-drawn designs.
- All plans, both CAD and hand-drawn designs, are printed on inkjet architectural plotters. They do not fade off the paper unless severely abused.
