The plans for the stitch and glue already are shareware. Builders owe me a postcard and pictures when they finish. That is enough for me on that design.

For my other plans I ask for $35 for each additional boat built, $100 if you are building professionally. I do not ask for anything from people who build using offsets from my book, however I think it would be ethical for professional builders to pay the royalty anyway.
