In Response To: Used strip canoe plans wanted (Clark Richardson)

: I am trying to find a set of used plans for a 14-16' strip built canoe.
: Please email with any info. Thanks, Clark

Please don't get offended by what I'm about to say. I posted a similar query some time ago, specifically asking if designers who published their designs in books expected remuneration when someone builds from offsets in the books. If the whole thread interests you please look it up. However, I will provide what seemed to me to be the consensus of the group's response: You are being cheap at best, if not outright criminal by trying to avoid paying licensing fees. If you really can't afford to at least buy Hazen's book or one of the books providing offsets, I doubt you can afford the $500 or so (minimum) that a stripper is going to cost. Good luck, Tom

Why "used" when new is so cheap?
