Q.

Why should you purchase a Waller Designed Plan instead of another design ?

We place our reputation on the quality of the plans we provide. Not only are our designs of a high standard, but the plans themselves are high quality, comprehensive and complete.
 

A.

The boats

• All Waller designed boats are exceptionally strong, and are generally more strongly constructed than many similar vessels on the market. We want our vessels to be able to stand up not only to the rigors of every day use, but also to the worst of nature, and the wear and tear of time. We want our boats to still be around in 40 - 50 years time. 
• Design quality - all Waller designed vessels are designed on tried and true principles which have withstood the tests of time. We design safe, seaworthy family boats, and do not employ any strange, unproven or unusual ideas in our boats.
• Proven track record - Waller designed boats have crossed oceans in the worst of conditions, undertaken extensive coastal voyages in all conditions, coming through unscathed, and have proven to be excellent sea boats, both comfortable, strong and fast.
• Re-sale value - being from the board of a qualified yacht architect, Waller designed boats can be assured of retaining good value, and achieving a good re-sale value, assuming that they have been well built to begin with.

The Plans

• Large scale drawings on A1 size plan sheets
• Drafting to a very high standard and degree of accuracy, and in clear, concise and familiar 2D format.
• Full dimensioning.
• Clear and understandable building notes.
• A full specification manual.
• Materials lists.
• For computer designed vessels, DXF files on disk for laser or router cutting of molds, where these are necessary.
• Reasonable plan prices.
• Full backup during the building process.

Our plans DO NOT include
 

• Poor quality drawings and hand drawn sketches.
• Piles of very interesting, but barely useful photographs to make up for the lack of plan detail. We provide the plan detail as well.
• Sketchy, incomplete information.
• Guesswork!!!
• Reams of small A3 or A4 sheets of (usually hand sketched) drawings which end up all over the work site.

What do our plans look like ?
