Understanding the Plans

Matt Layden's plans consist of 12 sheets of beautifully drawn details showing how Paradox should be built.

Page 1) outlines the sail plan; 2) sets out the lines; 3) the interior and deck layouts; 4) general construction; 5) section at frame 3; 6) side panel measurements and cut-out positions on plywood for frames, bottom, decks and transom. It also explains the building sequence; 7 & 8) more bulkhead details, including the transom plus stem dimensions; 9) vent trunk and reefing arrangements; 10) cabin construction; 11) rudder and chine runners layout; 12) spars and yuloh particulars.

CAD

I found these CAD presentations very helpful in understanding how the various bits fit together. Credit goes to Paul Raymond for his expertise in working his CAD application and for allowing his simulations to be used here. He points out that there may be inaccuracies within these presentations; therefore, interpret them with caution. Thank you Paul.
