Sailing and Power Yacht Plans List and Prices
Copyright 2010 Michael Kasten
Updated September 2010This page provides a complete list of our currently available boat plans, a link to the web page for each design, and a price for the following plans packages for each design:
- Study Drawings
- Inquiry Packet
- Estimating Plans
- Building Plans
- NC Cutting Files
Inquiry Packet - Estimating Plans - Building Plans - NC Cut Files - Oh My...!
What's The Difference?
Study Drawings: Includes the Sail Plan / Exterior Profile Drawing, and the Interior Profile & Arrangement Drawing (one to four sheets, depending on vessel size). These are the first few sheets of the Building Plan drawings. Study Drawings are not sufficient for cost estimating purposes. Builders will require considerably more information in order to determine build costs, and owners will need additional information for construction planning. Study Drawings are just that... they are for your study, planning, commentary, mark-ups, or to consider variations on the layout or alternate rig possibilities. Most of our Study Drawings also make excellent wall art...!
Inquiry Packet: By popular request we have introduced an intermediately priced Inquiry Packet for each of the designs listed below. Our Inquiry Packet includes the Study Drawings described above, plus the written Vessel Specification, Scantling List and Equipment List (if over 40'). As such, our Inquiry Packet is priced in between Study Drawings, and full-on Estimating Plans as described below. Even so, our Inquiry Packet includes most of the information needed in order to create a preliminary estimate of construction costs.
Estimating Plans: In order to provide a firm quote for construction of the vessel, builders will usually want to also review the Structure Drawings in addition to the essential drawings and documents included in our Inquiry Packet. Our Estimating Plans therefore include the contents of the Inquiry Packet described above, plus the vessel's Structure Drawings (one or two additional sheets, depending on Vessel Size), our Builder Short List and other documents as described on our Stock Plans page. Sufficient information is contained in the Estimating Plans for a builder to provide a firm quote and preliminary contract for construction of the vessel. Estimating Plans do not contain sufficient information for actual construction of the vessel - only for estimating and preliminary contract negotiations with a builder.
Building Plans: In order to actually begin building the boat, and prior to a construction contract being finalized, the complete Building Plans will be required. Building Plans include all the contents of our Estimating Plans as described above, and additionally provide all the remaining detail drawings required for construction, such as the vessel's Lines, Offsets, Structural & Joinery Sections, Construction Details, Spar Plans (sail) or Machinery Plans (power), plus a variety of other Detail Drawings and Design Data, including the vessel's hydrostatics, stability, performance, propulsion and range. Please see our Stock Plans page for further detail.
Custom Design: We can easily modify any of the designs listed below in order to suit a newly defined purpose - or we can create an entirely new design based on your requests. Please feel free to inquire about any modifications you may have in mind, or about creating a new Custom Design to suit your specific requirements, or possibly to develop of any of our Prototype Designs.
NC Cutting Files: Several of our Stock Designs in metal have been developed for computer cutting of the metal parts. "NC" simply means 'Numerically Controlled' - a technology for creating pre-cut boat parts. For details regarding the benefits of NC Cutting and to find out what's included with an NC Cut File package, please see our web page on Computerized Boat Building and on our CAD Design Stream.
What Do Plans Cost..?
This question we can answer...! Please see the lists below for prices of each type of plans package for our designs. The first group is for Sailing Yacht Designs and the second group is for Power Yachts. You will find complete information about ordering plans near the bottom of this page. To place an order, please see our contact information below, or you can print out our PDF Order Form and send it according to the directions given on the form.
What Will the Boat Cost..?
The most difficult question... but one that does have an answer...! Please see our articles on The Cost Question, on Affordable Boatbuilding, and on Estimating Boatbuilding Costs for information about the process of soliciting estimates from builders.
What if the Design You Want is Not Listed Below...?
It is our specialty to create new custom yacht designs, and to follow through from concept to launch. For a quick introduction to the design process, please see our article on Custom Yacht Design, and our Design Stream article.
Sailing Yachts
All Estimating Plans and Building Plans with prices given below in bold type are a complete set as-is and can be shipped immediately on receipt of your order. Prices given in plain text indicate that there is some work remaining in order to complete the Inquiry Packet, Estimating Plan or the Building Plan package, and those will be shipped as soon as possible after receipt of your order. Please inquire for additional detail.
Please note that there are several designs below for which NC cutting files have already been developed, in which case the price is in bold type. All other NC Cutting File prices listed reflect our cost to generate NC files for that design, in which case the files can be created for either metric or imperial dimensioned materials. Please see the articles on Computerized Boat Building and on our CAD Design Stream for more information about the benefits of NC Cutting.
All prices are given in US Dollars. Those designs for which a Stock Building Plans price is not given below are still under development. To place an order, please see our contact information below. To order by fax or by mail a PDF Order Form has been provided for your convenience.

Sail & Motor Vessel Notes
Any Steel vessel can easily be re-specified with an aluminum structure. Study Plans will not involve any changes. To convert a steel design to aluminum, please add 20% to the cost of the Inquiry Packet, the Estimating Plans, or the Building Plans for that design.
* The Aluminum vessels listed above can only be built in steel if the design is extensively modified for that purpose. Aluminum or Steel designs can also be converted for construction in GRP or cold moulded plywood. The cost of any of these revisions will be quoted separately. For more information, please inquire.
** Please note that our Inquiry Packet for Wooden Vessels includes the gross wood order required, but does not include a detailed scantling list (available only with the Estimating Plans).
**** NOTE: Although a complete Building Plan set is required in order build any of the above boat designs. The NC Cutting Files are entirely optional. This means the Building Plans are required, even if you purchase the NC Cutting Files for that design. Although the cost of NC Cutting Files is in addition to the cost of the Building Plans, please see below for a few discount options that are available...
The NC Cut Files shown above with bold prices have already been developed, in which case they will have been created for either metric or imperial dimensioned materials, and for either steel or aluminum (noted in parentheses).
If the vessel will be built in a location that requires changing the measurement system, and / or if there is a change from steel to aluminum structure, then additional work will be required to effect those changes, the cost of which will be quoted separately and in addition to the above prices.
As noted above, if any design is to be converted from aluminum construction to steel construction, it will require an extensive modification of the entire design in order to accommodate the added weight of structure. This will also require a completely new set of NC cutting files. Should the conversion from aluminum to steel structure for any of our designs be of interest, please inquire for an estimate, thank you.
- If you order Estimating Plans or Building Plans within 45 days after purchasing an Inquiry Packet, we will deduct half of what you paid for the Inquiry Packet (less shipping) from your order.
- If you order Building Plans within 45 days after purchasing Estimating Plans (for the same design), we will deduct half of what you paid for the Estimating Plans (less shipping) from your order.
- For ALL orders, if an already completed set of NC Cutting Files are ordered along with an already completed set of Building Plans for that vessel (both paid for in full at the same time) we will provide a discount of 15% off your entire order. And... this discount may be applied in addition to either of the above discount options..! However this does not apply to any of our designs for which the NC Cutting Files or the Design itself have not yet been completed.
- For additional clarification of these potential discounts, please inquire.
Yacht Tenders
Our aluminum yacht tenders are the perfect companion to any of the yachts described above...!
8' & 10' Prams - Building Plans: $500. NC Cutting Files: $500. (Building Plans are required. NC Cut Files are optional.)
12' & 14' Prams - Building Plans: USD $700. NC Cutting Files: USD $700. (Building Plans are required. NC Cut Files are optional.)
Prototype Designs
Check out our Prototypes web page for designs that may be under development, or just for a few possible ideas... Preliminary study sketches may be available for some of our Prototype Designs. If you would like to know more about one of them, please contact us.
