NEW FOR SELWAY FISHER DESIGN – ELECTRONIC FILES FOR PLANS
All
Full Construction Plans and Study Plans are now available as electronic
PDF files which can be sent to you as email attachments, for you to
download.
When you go to order a plan you will have a choice of two Buy Now
Buttons - one for the Printed Plans (to be sent by post) and the other
for the electronic PDF version of the plan, which will be sent to your
email address.
Generally, the prices of the PDF versions for boats above dinghy size
(where there is usually more than 4 sheets of A1 print), are lower than
the printed versions, as no printing is involved. Once payment for your
order has cleared, sending the PDF files attached to an email is almost
immediate with no waiting for the post and with guaranteed delivery to
any country.
Please
also note that the Construction Manuals are also available in PDF format
and can be emailed to you.

famous for high performance racing /cruising yachts beautifully crafted
in wood (cold moulded as well as conventional clinker and carvel). l
then became Technical Manager at D.M. Russell Marine - formerly Jas. A.
Silvers yard just up the road at Rosneath, for 5 years - famous for
their motor yachts - this period found me sailing/cruising in all sorts
of craft around the coast of the UK and regular racing in everything
from Dragons to the IOR fleet on the Clyde.
