STUDY ePLANS

STUDY ePLANS are an alternative to the standard printed study plans we have traditionally provided. They differ from the standard study plans in the following ways.

Standard Study Plans

Our standard study plans include reduced (A3) copies of several of the actual full size (A1) plan sheets. Each sheet will generally contain several drawings related to the construction of the vessel. A typical study plan will contain 5-6 sheets, covering the basic profile and arrangements, sail and rigging, sample construction drawings, and for larger designs, a deck layout plan.  In addition, the study plans include a materials list for the construction of the hull/deck etc, and a written run down on the vessel, its basic concept and statistics, its intended purpose and the contents of the full building plan.

Study ePlans

Our Study ePlans are produced in A4 eBook format, and have the big advantage that they can be purchase directly online using our Paypal Secure Online Payments Fascility. They can then be downloaded directly to your computer hard drive within minutes and can be printed on any good quality inkjet or laser printer, or taken on a memory stick to be printed by virtually any local printer. You can view them immediately on your computer with a free PDF reader, which is easily obtainable from Adobe.com. if you do not already have one.

Instead of having 5 - 6 reduced copies of the actual plan sheets, Study ePlans contain a much larger number of A4 size plan drawings (typically 12 - 15), each of which contains details of just one major aspect of the design. The drawings are clear, concise and easy to read, and in fact contain more information than our standard study plans. In addition, the Study ePlans contain all the written material contained in the standard study plans, and more besides. Because the ePlans are downloaded in electronic format rather than printed and posted, we are able to include more material for a lower price. 

With a good quality printer, the ePlan format also allows you to print copies of study plan sheets for the purposes of obtaining quotes, instead of having to pay for photocopies at your local print shop.

Study ePlans cost sightly less than our standard study plans because we do not incur printing or postage costs. They can be purchased using our PayPal Secure Online Payment Fascility, using the 'Buy Now' buttons on the respective design pages. (Study ePlans cannot be purchased using our shopping cart.)  Clicking the 'Buy Now' button will take you direct to PayPal's secure web site to carry out the purchase transaction. 

NOTE#  once you have completed your ePlan purchase you should NOT click your back button, or click way from the PayPal web page. Paypal will provide a link to bring you back to this web site, from where you will then be able to download your plan direct to your computer in PDF format. The entire process should take you no more than 5 minutes.

Study ePlans will only be available for those designs which were designed using CAD design fascilities.

Study ePlans are currently available for the following designs.

 Mike Waller Yacht Design is a business specialising in boat plans for amateur boat builders. We custom design, and provide stock plans for both monohulls and multihulls, mainly catamarans. Other designs are sailing skiffs and sharpies, as well as power catamarans. Our designs mainly feature timber construction, in plywood or cedar strip plank composite construction, using the W.E.S.T. system (wood epoxy saturation technique). Our designs are intended mainly as cruising boats, although several have done well in racing.
