About these plans
This is a free, user-supported online library. To contribute a plan, send me an e-mail.
A few plans include CAD drawings (.dwg or .dxf files) provided by visitors. These open in most CAD programs.
If you can’t find the boat you’re looking for here, your local public library may have the magazine issue in its archives.
By downloading these images you accept all responsibility for their use. I am not responsible for anything that happens as a result of your use of these plans.
