It may be that advanced skills are helpful. Although we've offered these plans since the 1990s, it has recently been brought to our attention there are some discrepancies in some measurements. Most builders have worked around that. The best way to handle the discrepancies: loft.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe've decided to continue to offer the plans because many beautiful boats have been built and sailed. If you choose this design there is a wealth of knowledge about it online in various blogs, on the \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/forum.woodenboat.com\/showthread.php?157592-16-Barto-melonseed-skiff-build\"\u003eWoodenBoat Forum\u003c\/a\u003e and two sites under the \"Building Projects\" section of our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.woodenboatstore.sbs\/pages\/resources\"\u003eRESOURCES \u003c\/a\u003epage.

Other pages could be printed on letter or tabloid size paper, if you want to save printing costs. You'll see a measurement on pages that have full-sized drawings, so your local print shop will just need to print to that size.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eAnd, if you are ordering the Digital plans, you can also order the How-to book as a PDF (see below). \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #2b00ff;\"\u003e————————————————————\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #2b00ff;\"\u003e“Your downloads are ready” will be the subject line of an email you’ll receive from us—once we’ve processed your digital order.
