HI Bruce, I ordered a set of plans for my best friend for Christmas, here it is 1month later & we are going to start putting the bottom on her today. The planing hull design is excellent. She's a weekend project because both of us have full time jobs. We can't wait to christen her "Keel Estate". Some pictures & updates are soon to follow....Regards John Dunn

HI Bruce, I recently received my plans and patterns for the coastworker 25', 8' planning hull Steel / Aluminium. I must say I am more than happy. One thing I am curious about getting though is the patterns on a cad file, I have just noticed this information on the your web site and was hoping you could send me some information on the cost and the style of format e.g. dwg,dxf etc.. thanks once again      Brett Muller

ANSWER: We can supply AutoCAD files for any parts of the plans and patterns ... they are in DWG format.

Regards that chap had the CW25 hull built and turned over only  two weeks after receiving the plans. It was a small engineering shop with two partners, business was slow and so they decided to build themselves a boat.

Still 2 weeks is a good effort and it's something that I mention to everyone. I did have reason to ring these men up again last Christmas, 5 months after they had bought the plans and the boat was completely finished. The call had been diverted from their work number to their mobile and they were on the Broad-water with their wives on the boat!
