The Annapolis Wherry "wood parts only" kit includes plans and a fully illustrated, step-by-step instruction manual, and computer-cut and -drilled okoume marine plywood parts. Typical "wood parts only" kit buyers have an existing or ready supply of their own epoxy, fiberglass, and hardware. 

The plans-and-manual package for the Tandem Wherry includes full-sized patterns for hull panels, bulkheads, thwarts, and other parts. Bulkhead locations are marked on the panels, and matching stitch holes are indicated. The spiral-bound 120-page manual is extravagantly detailed, with every step photographed and/or diagrammed.  All dimensions throughout the plans and manual are shown in both metric and standard units.

Plans for sliding-seat mechanisms are NOT included.  The Annapolis Wherry is designed around the excellent aftermarket drop-in sliding-seat units.

The plans are for builders who will be building from scratch. Builders working from a kit do not need this option. 

The patterns are printed on a 3-foot by 37-foot roll of paper.  

 

Experienced builders may add this package to the stock plans to strip-plank the Annapolis Wherry Tandem over a mold, rather than stitch-and-glue style.

Adding this option to the stock plans package gives you a mold diagram, plus full-sized patterns for the molds, stem, and transom.  These drawings are intended to function as an appendix to the standard plans and manual, which you will still need for interior fit-out, proper bulkhead placement, and other details.  These additional drawings allow advanced builders to construct a strip-planked hull shell, but are not stand-alone plans for the Annapolis Wherry Tandem.  

The Annapolis Wherry Tandem manual does not include step-by-step instructions for this style of construction.  Again, skilled experienced boatbuilders will grok this option, but beginning-to-intermediate builders should steer clear.

You'll need about 1400 lineal feet of 1/4" x 3/4" bead-and-cove strip material, plus some marine plywood for bulkheads and transom.

Note: These drawings come as one long sheet.

CLC instruction manuals walk you through construction step-by-step with photos and drawings, and are a good way to get acquainted with the process in advance of a kit purchase. (Manual purchase refundable with kit purchase.) There is not enough information in the manual to build a boat from scratch.  The Tandem Wherry's 120-page spiral-bound shop manual includes hundreds of photos and diagrams, with detailed instruction on shop setup, finishing, and sliding seat installation.

This option comprises the latest version of the illustrated assembly manual, emailed in the form of a large PDF, with 8.5" x 11" (216x280mm) pages.  

Please note:  This option is for builders who want to study the process before taking up their tools. The manual includes a materials list, tool list, and of course step-by-step construction details from start to finish.

While the manual is expansive in detail, the manuals alone lack sufficient detail to fabricate parts.  You will still need to purchase the plans or a pre-cut kit to build the boat. Plans are available through the mail. We regret that we are not able to transmit plans or CAD/CAM data digitally.

Upon placing the order, you'll receive an email with a link to the PDF.  Be sure to use a correct email address! If you have filters in place, be sure that emails from "admin@clcboats.com" are not blocked.  

Orders from outside the lower 48 U.S. states will need to wait until the next business day for processing and email delivery of their manual.

Copying or transmitting any part of this document is prohibited, as is posting or displaying any part of it online.  

You can get printable study plans for most of your favorite kits and plans by return email --- for just a few dollars! 

When you order a set, you'll receive the study plans emailed in the form of PDFs at 8.5" x 11" (216x280mm).  

These printable drawings (most are two pages) help give a sense of the construction process and a feel for what the full-size plans or kit contain. Please note that a boat can not be built from Study Plans; they are to preview a project in print media; the Study Plans are an excellent broad-strokes look at the process. The subsequent escalation for more information is to order the boat's print instruction manual (where available), which will walk you through the project step-by-step.   

Upon placing the order, you'll receive an email with a link to the PDF.  Be sure to use the correct email address! If you have filters in place, ensure emails from "admin@clcboats.com" are not blocked.
