The plans

The boat I decided on was the Pooduck Skiff, partly due to its comedy name but mainly after seeing one at the 2004 Plymouth Classics. Having set my heart on it I then had to come to terms with the fact it is an American design but I think I'm just about over that now.

I picked up the plans from the Wooden Boat Store for the very reasonable price of about £50 (inc posting). Would have been great except that customs decided to slap a £15 excise charge on it as well.
