dolly varden plans?

[ReedTedrick]

Hi -
I've been researching building the dollyvarden and have found a web site that says they have reprints of the plans/instructions - http://www.dngoodchild.com/5081.htm

I'm interested in building the dolly varden -- but what I'm wondering is if this dngoodchild web site is basically charging $5 for what's free at:
http://www.svensons.com/boat/

has anyone bought reprints from dngoodchild? are they just reprints from Science and Mechanics or are they the "craft print" mentioned at the end of the Science and Mechanics magazine stories.

Thanks for any insight on this!

I don't know if Goodchild's plans are the same as Svenson's. However, I recently bought Goodchild's plans book for Nimble, a 30-ft Crocker schooner. Although printed in small scale (8.5x11 sheets) they are well printed, clear and easy to read. I got lines, offsets, construction plans and sail plan, plus eight pages of specs. All in all a good package for $6. I just ordered two more, a 32 ft skipjack and a crazy looking 20 ft canoe shaped day-sailer called Splinter.

Reed, I'd say you're looking at the same plans on both sites however Norm has a point. The plans from Mr Goodchild are clearer copies than you're likely to pull off the Svenson's site.
