The Schionning design is a great looking cat with terrific performance. I have built two of the Wilderness 1100 design. First time around I had a few queries and, after a bit of deliberating by me, were solved by a phone call to the design office. As well we had a couple of visits from the design team going around visiting builders to check on progress. The second time round is always easier. I had a few ideas I wanted to incorporate and that was also drawn up and explained. And the amazing thing about the Schionning design is that they are mostly made by owner builders who haven't much experience in boat-building. I think that speaks for itself about the quality of the plans; otherwise there just wouldn't be any on the water - and I'm seeing quite a lot of them these days. Nup. I can't say I had an issue with the plans, and can't say enough for the backup with both Schionning Marine supplies and design. Sailing is more of a pleasure than building of course.

The plans have mistakes and gaps. So far nothing that i can't muddle through and work out for myself. Initially this was a big concern for me! Now, as the build progresses, I am getting used to it and it is just a dissapointment. It is a shame really, as I like the boat a lot. The fulltime backup is there for the asking with Schionning but so far I have only contacted them to question anomolies in the plans. BTW, I had the F9A Farrier plans at one stage and they are truly detailed and complete. Is it really hard to be as professional as Ian Farrier? I am building a Schionning (Wilderness 1100).

Við getum samt alltaf leigt bara bát þegar þið komið í heimsókn :o) Annars ætla ég að smíða annan minni þegar við flytjum, ég skrifa um hann hérna fljótlega. Það er satt.
