Acquire the Plan

After looking at all the different designs, I concluded that anything close to a Britpop had to be the best option given my total lack of knowledge. So I bought the Alternative design off the BG web site and that gave me everything I needed to build the boat including the correct rig setup measurements.

What do you get in the plans

Design notes
Deck layout
Deck plan with equipment positions
Side elevation with all measurement from the stern datum
Hull frames
Foredeck frames
Hull opening templates
Mast rigging layout
Jib boom layout
Main boom layout
One additional piece on the BG website is the rake settings for the Alternative

Once I had all the plans, I was confident I had all the information needed to construct the boat.
