If
you are like us, you understand that not just anyone can aspire to
being a member of an association of people who pay proper omage to the
many generations of men (and women) who have poured their hearts and
souls into a craft that has helped mankind grow and progress through
the ages like none other; The wooden boat.
Where
would we be without a means to travel the oceans so many generations
ago when true explorers went adrift across the sea?
Paying
proper respect (through boat building, craftmanship and love of craft)
requires a certain type of individual. Perhaps YOU are that kind of
individual?
Not
everyone is... In fact, very few qualify these days.
The
words respectful, patient, rugged, and natural come easily to mind. You
care about what you do and are willing to go the extra mile to make
sure the job (any job) is done right. No half-ass measures here. If you
have to sand for an extra hour to get the edge smoooth, then time
stands still for an extra hour.
I
don't care what part of the world you live in, the same type of folk of
reverance exists amongst the huddled masses. You care, and you won't
settle for anything less than the best.
If
that is you, then you need to consider entry into The Platinum
Association of Wooden Boat Builders where you are surrounded by people
who understand.

Here is What
Exclusive Membership Gives You
-
Professionally Printed and
Bound Copies of BOTH sets of our 16' Grand Banks Dory Plans. I
will personally call our publisher and order copies of both
sets
of our Grand Banks Dory Plans (traditional rowing dory and wider engine
mounted transom). Both sets will be mailed to your postal address via
express post, no matter where in the world you live. You deserve nothing less.
-
I
will provide you immediately, with the download page where you can
download the digital versions of both sets of the above plans.
This will help you get a feel for the plans, and paruse the materials
list while you await your plans to arrive in the mail.
-
I will send you drawings of the
sail, rudder and tiller that include all measurements.
This is invaluable in your ability to craft your own sailing version of
the above plans, or for any boat.
-
I will email you the audio
version of our traditional rowing dory plans in MP3 format.
This is great to listen to on any mobile device or in your car. Let the
dory plans sink into your subconscious before you even begin the project
-
You will be provided with the
direct phone number of our builder.
You can call him anytime, day or night with a boat building question,
or just to talk shop. He has over 66 years of wooden boat building
experience and I guarantee he can answer any questions you may have. An
oustanding fellow as well.
-
You will get added to The
Platinum Association of Wooden Boat Builders monthly newsletter.
We'll talk wooden boat building in a way that is completely different
from what you have experienced in the past. You will not be sold
anything in this newsletter. There is no hidden agenda. Just wooden
boat building tips, tricks, techniques and recommended resources. This
newsletter only goes to members and you are not encouraged to share it
with anyone else. It is your right as a member to get "inside
information".
-
Access
to our exclusive membership area where you will find new and updated
wooden building plans of all kinds every single month.
We'll
give you free plans every month for life. We'll build or buy the top
notch plans and give them to you free. (This alone is worth triple the
price of membership).
- We will mail you out a
certificate of membership.
This deserves to be framed and hung on your wall. You can proudly
display your membership (with your name printed on it) into an
association of the highest order.
Exclusivity and Quality of Membership
Not everyone wants to be a member of our little association. We are ok
with that because we do not want everyone as a member. We only want
those of us who value membership and what it means. If that is you, you
already know it.
To that effect, we have set a maximum yearly enrollment at 25 new
members. We want our ranks to brim with folks who appreciate wooden
boat building for what it was, what it is, and what it will always be.
Once we reach 25 new members for the year, we close this page until the
following January 01.
Now The Choice is Up To You.

you are interested in membership and joining our exclusive and
dedicated association with all benefits above included don't hesitate
