This is a revisit to argue what a designer offers for what you pay,whats up front,whats hidden?
Some plan sets may look expensive when stacked against another design,size for size is not the
only issue,its what a designer gives for his fee? The Dix Design Lynnhaven Canoe plans set costs U$10 more than say the other canoe featured recently but that U$10 extra also includes a full set
of paper templates you can lay out on your plywood to enable instant setting out.Due to the size of the package there is also a post and pack fee of U$15 but this still represents excellent value.
Note,some cheaper plans options barely give you dimensions,some never give a materials list.They may supply the dimensions to the bottom of the boat if its a flat sheet but not the hull sides as they are curved and too complicated to draw,with Dudleys designs you get the full package and with the Lynnhave Canoe an extra six inches too!

| The Lynnhaven 16 is designed for those who want a family fun boat that they can build themselves. I built the prototype in 3 weeks of weekends and evenings, total less than 100 hours of single-handed work. This is about as much boat as can be built from 3 sheets of plywood, with very little scrap left at the end of the project. I built the prototype from 6mm (1/4") plywood, which produced a robust boat but a bit heavy at 32kg (70lb). It can be built from 3mm (1/8") plywood to about 20kg (45lb) or anything between. Construction is stitch-&-glue, so it is suitable as a first time boatbuilding project. The plans include full size paper patterns showing every plywood component, nested for marking straight onto the plywood sheets. A set of step-by-step instructions is also supplied, including more than 40 colour photos of the entire building process. The Lynnhaven 16 is suitable for exploring your local rivers and lakes, or it can be car-topped across the country for camp cruising waters far away. Pre-cut plywood kits will soon be available from suppliers in various countries. |
