Gk,
What you want to do is illegal. The design is not public property. Buying
a license to build is the honest correct method.

I understand your point, but if a builder is building from a set or study
plans, they have to do so without any structual detail and is simply
building a boat that looks similiar. My piont really.... The OP wouldn't end
up with a Bruce Roberts, just a boat that looked similar, how diffent would
it need to be before the builder could claim it was his own design?
