: Colin,

: Since it looks like nobody has stepped up to the soap box yet on this one, I
: will. Support the folks who make it possible for others to build boats
: without drawing the designs at home. Plans are inexpensive and books are
: too, especially when the total cost of the project is considered. If you
: buy a book for the plans, make sure it is a new copy so the author sees
: the return. The Cape Charles plans can be ordered off the CLC website.

: OK, I'm stepping down now.

: Sam

Well, it's probably not easy to find a new copy of the book anymore, and the
Cape Charles plans are not in the new edition, nor are they available at
CLC's web site anymore.

If you really like the Cape Charles, a used book is probably your only choice.
I suppose you could send a voluntary donation to CLC.

I would suggest buying the Chesapeake 18 plans instead, since it is by
all accounts a better boat than the Cape Charles, which it replaces.
