In Response To: Seeking: Info on plans and liability (Jim Farrelly)

That's a good question -- especially considering all the safety info and warnings that come with a new manufactured boat. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread to learn more.

I'd like to expand the topic a bit. I recently sold a Yost boat that I built. I had the buyer sign a release of liability. I wonder if anyone else has been so paranoid.

: I have a friend who would like to sell plans for a S&G design
: that he developed. He is concerned about liability should
: someone go out and get into trouble while using his design.
: Since people sell plans all the time I was wondering how
: designers go about minimizing their exposure to liability.
