PURCHASING ePLANS
EMAILED / DOWNLOADED ePLANS are
an alternative to the standard delivered printed plans we have traditionally
provided. They differ from the standard plans in that they are delivered
direct to you by Email. At present ePlans are not yet available for all
designs, however we are working as fast as possible to correct that situation.
In an attempt to keep up with the 21st Century, we have decided to provide
our plans electronically as an option for our clients, because of the following
significant advantages.
-
It is the fastest method. Study plans are downloaded by you immediately,
and full eplans will arrive attached to your purchase confirmation email,
or you will receive a direct download link by email, generally within
24 hours (1 working day) of ordering.
-
It is the safest method. ePlans are purchased using our secure
PayPal Facility.
-
Because we do not incur printing or delivery cost for electronic plans,
we can offer them at reduced prices, passing on a substantial saving to
you, the client.
-
It guarantees delivery. Postal services in many countries are not reliable,
and for this reason we have in the past used expensive courier services
to try to guarantee delivery. However even courier services can experience
great difficulty in delivery, especially if there is no-one present at
the receiving end (Courier goods must be signed for).
-
You can view them immediately on your computer with any PDF reader, and
they do not have to be printed out until you actually need them. Documentation
(A4) can be printed on your home printer.
Of course, our standard posted / courier delivered plans are still, and
always will be available for those clients who are not in a position to
be able to get them printed locally.
PURCHASING ePLANS
They can be purchased using our PayPal
Secure Online Payment Facility, using the 'Buy
Now' buttons on the respective design pages. 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, where you will be provided further information
regarding the download or email delivery of your plans . The entire process
should take you no more than a few minutes.
When your ePlan is sent to you
by Email, and for any reason the delivery experiences problems (some smaller
ISP's have limits on attachment size) we will make sure you are able to
receive your plan some other way (such as a download link.)
If for any reason you fail to
download your study ePlan, or do not receive your emailed full plan
or download link within 48 hours, (sadly, the Internet is not perfect)
you should contact us by email straight away, and we will re-send, or arrange
for you to receive your plans ASAP, by some other method. Please allow
us reasonable time to respond, due to time differences. Note# we
have never failed to deliver to a client.
If for any reason we are unable
to ensure that you receive your plans, we will direct PayPal to refund
your purchase price.
FULL ePLANS
Our ePlans are exactly the same in content as our delivered printed
plans. Full ePlans are in the form of a Zip file containing PDF files
for each plan sheet and each document. They are emailed to you, or a downoad
link is provided. Most of the zip files are downloadable in a few minutes,
however some of our more detailed big boat plans are fairly large, and
may take a little longer to download, may contain 2 Zip files, and may
be split over 2 emails.
Unfortunately problems can (rarely) occur with internet connections.
If you should experience any difficulty in receiving plans etc, please
accept our apologies in advance and contact us straight away so that we
can correct the problem and make sure you get your plans ASAP.
STUDY ePLANS
Again, our Study ePlans are exactly the same in content as our
delivered printed study plans. Study ePlans are downloaded by you immediately
as a a Zip File containing PDF Files for each plan sheet and each
document. In general, plan sheet PDFs are A3 in size. All document files
are A4. Most localities around the world have printing shops who can print
these files, and they can be viewed directly on your computer..
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.
Some of our Study Plans are produced in A4
eBook format, and instead of having 5 - 6 reduced copies of
the actual plan sheets, they 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 ePlan eBook format contains all the written material
contained in a standard study plan, and more besides, and can be printed
on a good quality home printer
The eBook ePlan format also allows you to print copies of study plan
sheets for the purposes of obtaining quotes on your own home computer (A4)
instead of having to pay for photocopies at your local print shop.
