Michael Storer Boat Plans

Michael Storer is one of Australia's good guys when it comes to boat plans. His plans are wonderfully detailed, and have everything the beginning boat builder could want detailed in them. We have been selling Michael's plans for many years, and unlike some, they do not result in lots of phone calls asking how about this and that. We know that many of the boats have been constructed, incvluding several by our own members of staff.
