Boat Plans

[Peter A]

Just a thought, brought on by another thread. For those that like to scratch build, where to find good plans? Is there a place for plans on OSE, I'm thinking of the ones that are out there as free downloads, links etc, or any other plans that members have that could be posted and downloaded for building. What does everyone think? Is that possible Steven?

As near as I can tell or find there are about 4 or 5 Finlay hydro plans available, the JAE riggers and Keps rigger oh ya the Predator as well, and there are plans for a 48" mono out there. I love scratch building and am constantly on the lookout for plans, these are about the only "good boat" free plans out there I've found.
Plenty out there for boats I wouldn't build, one offs that people have come up with on different forums.
I've built two Finlay hydros, Pay N Pak and the classic shovelnose, a JAE mini well as one scaled down from the 48" mono plans, never ran the mini rigger.

Another pan I found one day was the Wasabi 900E, mono hull, would lend itself for laser cutting of the parts.

Hi Borgie. On my PC I think I used both MS Word 07' and Adobe acrobat. All you need is a document viewer. On a tablet I think I would use aldiko or kindle......
