Wonder why the daggerboard has that radius curve on the top? It's there so the daggerboard and rudder can nicely fit between the transom and aft thwart. Joel certainly thought out even the smallest of details. Also, you can ensure symmetry of the molds by simply using half the mold and then flopping the drawing to create the full mold.      If ordering Digital plan sets: These files are in PDF format.  Some designs will have just a single page needed to be printed on large paper... typically if they had full-sized mold patterns. Other pages could be printed on letter or tabloid size paper, if you want to save printing costs. You'll see a measurement on pages that have full-sized drawings, so your local print shop will just need to print to that size. For this plan, the full sized template page is: 73" x 36". And, if you are ordering the Digital plans, you can also order the How-to book as a PDF (see below).  ———————————————————— “Your downloads are ready” will be the subject line of an email you’ll receive from us—once we’ve processed your digital order.
