If a book that gives instructions and adequate, if minimum, plans for THREE boats isn't a good deal at $19.95, then I don't know what is. At $6.67 for Cape Charles plans maybe you should expect to scratch your head a little and figure out a few things yourself. I've said this before and I'll say it again here--Boatbuilding is about solving problems. That's part of the challenge and part of the enjoyment. If the $6.67 plans are not complete enough, go for the full set at $50-$75. If you need more than that buy the kit; you're still going to ask youself questions every day you work on the boat. It's the answers to all those questions that makes you appreciate the finished boat as much as you do.

Only a slight tangent--
The whole process of lofting a hull from a table of offsets is designed to catch the designers errors, because there are always SOME. It's the boatbuilders art to spot the unfair line and correct it.

As you might guess I feel strongly about this topic. It always irks me when someone blasts one of the kit manufacturers because they bought a kit and a panel was cut backwards or the deck beam was for a different boat. In 99% of the cases they wound up getting the right part shipped to them as soon as they called about the error. We've got a lot of first-class people in this, both as businessmen and hobbiests.
