Product Description
Water Rat Plans PDF
LOA 9' or 10' 9" Beam 34"
The plans come as 10 sheets giving the details required to build both the 9ft and the 10.8ft versions, and are available in either metric or imperial measure. They come in printed form (10 sheets of A3-sized paper and a 22 page colour-illustrated instruction booklet) or as a pdf file sent via a secure link for you to print out. The scale will only be correct if printed on A3 or larger, but that is not important as all of the measurements are listed on the plans, so you could even work from 'Letter' sized prints. The plans have plenty of detail, as well as comprehensive instructions. This is a very simple boat, which is a great-fun family project - to build and use.
Cost is $25 for the printed edition plus airmail postage (send from Australia), or $20 for the pdf copy, which is delivered almost instantly.
Basic plywood requirements are two sheets of 6mm/1/4" marine plywood. The boat can be built from 4mm/5/32" ply, but additional bottom panel stiffening is recommended.
