sarik hobbies plans and hull,katie,bristol channel pilot cutter

Biffy if you look closely its a 3 sheet plan - although they don't give details the first sheet seems to be a "general arrangement" (side & top views if you like) - one would assume the others to be lines/details etc and the 3rd the sail plan. They also say the plan can be used to suit a smaller version of the hull - although they don't list one - its actually a Lady Ma 20" hull (Megavissey Lugger).

Hi Peter,
Can only say that your experience confirms my cynicism, as well as my opinion of their marketing methods. Think I'll remove them from my 'Sources and Shops' Bookmarks.

I think your getting cynic in your old age Doug,😤
I have dealt with Sarik in the past, and they are very money orientated, bought two ASR plastic turrets from them, only cheap, but they slammed a large price for postage, won't be dealing with them again.😠

Hi Peter,
Hull or boat building instructions, doesn't matter.
I stand by my interpretation.
"Why else would they sell the plans separately? Sure they want you to buy their hull, but ...😉"
I have many plans for ships and boats of various types, including from John Lambert, and I don't think any of them have any building instructions included.
The former shapes help enormously of course, but even they can often be worked out or at least approximated. There are no thumbnails of the plan so can't tell if former shapes are included or not. If not the plan is not worth £15.50.
If they feel it is essential to buy both why offer them separately? Sure it's easier, and more lucrative for them if we buy both.

Yes Doug, have built many models using just the plan, as long as the hull former's are there.
But reading the ad, it reads as if you want to build this boat, you will need the hull!😫

You will need to purchase both to complete this model. The plan does not contain instructions for building the hull.😮

As read....does not contain instructions for building the hull, not building the boat!😲

Hmm! Jein! (as they say around here) Peter
It simply states that there are "No building instructions".
But that never stopped an experienced modeller who knows how to read a plan from building a great model. Scratch-building!😊

Reading the description by Sarik Models Biff, it looks like you have to buy the hull, as there are no facilities for building a hull from the plan.😐
