My uncle Ray showed me his sailboat plans last year before building his own sailboat. He let me know that if you build your own boat rather then buying one you’ll enjoy the experience of sailboating 10 times more intensely.

Not too far back, maybe two years he discovered a dealer with a good deal of high quality detailed boat plans for under fifty bucks. Uncle at first thought that maybe the boat plans were repurposed but because the boat building plans dealer offered him a sixty day money back guarantee to try them out he made a decision to give them a try. Uncle Ray could not believe the deal he’d got for 254 boat plans of all kinds and sizes.
