Apologies John if I have caused offence in any way. I will watch developments with interest , especially sailing trials. She does look like she will lots of fun.

Sounds like an E ticket ride.

Absolutely. I had bought the plywood to build a Matt Leyden Paradox then had my priorities change. I built a 20' LOA stitch and glue swampscott dory instead with that plywood and have plywood left over.
My undestanding John was that a shortened route was to be taken, so that all the very high upfront costs and time consumption was reduced to a minimum. A Wiki group knowledge page, and so on. That had lead me to think that since a CNC drawing must exist to cut a kit, then a print of a full,size panel layout could be produced. My local print shop can achieve 830mm high and as long as required, so I had thought a half depth full size print could avoid all that artwork time consuming drawing. It was seeing for the first time a Woodduck full size plan print to directly cut out panels that had lead me into thinking the same approach could/would be used. Downloadable plans had been mentioned, so I assumed half panel full size prints would be done locally at my print shop.
