It's been one hellish year fer me as I tried to get the Chesapeake 18 done in...at least a normal time frame. We decided to move out of the not-so-big town to a place out in the sticks that had a garage (a double yet!). Moved. I could make this a long story (yes I really can beleive me I can) so long story short...then broke a leg..physio...back to work while in physio...suddenly found wife and I as activists against a (very) ill concieved by the county dump site which took up major (read- all) part of my free time. Finally got kayak done (phew...a breath) Now...finally...i can clean out garage so i can build me a Sassafras or two...or three. do i need to buy plans to build? I have the book.

RE: done a C18, now for a S16
Someone here will tell you about the royalties to CLC; they're not prohibitive at all, as I recall, but I don't know the exact figure. Sounds like a good plan... build several at once! A production run, so to speak. Larry
RE: done a C18, now for a S16
What does the book say about building rights? The restrictions follow the medium in which the intellectual property (plans) are released to the public. If the book doesn't limit the number of boats you can build from the plans in the book, you're fine, as long as you use only the plans in the book (and you own a legal copy of the book). Otherwise, you are bound by the restrictions which the author has placed in the book. If you buy the plans from CLC, you are bound by a different set of restrictions, which are usually detailed on page 1 of the plans. Laszlo
RE: done a C18, now for a S16
When I asked to buy plans for Sassafras all that appears is- the book that I have. So the book must be the plans as it has all measurements and since it has all 3 Sassafrases in it I would feel confidant that I am allowed to build a;; 3 versions...solo 12, the 14 and the 16. The 14 has sort of fallen off the popularity charts. I will go through the book (no hardship for me at all) to find any limitations- what my obligations are as far as royalties and such. As well I will go over the plans of the C18 that I built to search for the restrictions, how they are worded. I may have to have a word with the chief of CLC or the auther/designer of the book/Sassafras design

So I should say if I build more than 1 Sassafras what are my obligations
