STANLEY SmallCraft is a business seller. We have been designing, building and repairing small boats for over 30 years and have been building our own, original designs for 20 years. In the past 12 years, we have been selling some of the more popular designs as DIY plans, all over the world. The choice of selling them as PDF A4 plans is to keep the costs as low as possible allowing them to be sold at the lowest possible price. However, some of our DIY designs are also sold as traditional, large sheet (A2/A1), paper drawings with full build instructions.We have built each design ourselves, several times - some a great many times – using ordinary DIY tools so we can get a better idea of the problems our builders may come across. We are constantly looking for ways to upgrade and improve the plans to make it as easy as we can for you to build them. We welcome your feedback and always like to see pictures of your finished boat. (We post some of them on our website).After your purchase we offer free email/text help with the plans and the build if you need it.We also sell kits for some designs, builder packs (epoxy materials etc.), and complete custom built boats. Some of which are sold on ebay. Details of everything we do is on our website and information about these items is normally sent with your plans.(Sorry, ebay rules prevent us from listing our website address) There are further photos of our builder’s boats and our other designs on our website.
