| 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,
