I could use full scale copies of templates for kit boat planning.  This is just a thought, but once the originals are copied to digital format, they can be reprinted with similar machines that scanned them.  For example, the St. Michaels Chesapeake Maritime Museum and Library will copy their plans/prints and put them on CD in different formats.   They are volunteer and do not have the money to bump start the process, but they keep the master CD that is made and distribute copies that are asked for at cost.  I do not know the machines or formats that they use or recommend.

Claus,very interested in the templates if i could help get them copyed let me know. (if you havnt already.) you can email me anytime , thankyou for any help you could give

thanks again  !

If there is someone close to a place that would be able to do something like this I think it would be great, as I said I am in the middle of the prairies, 4-5 hr drive to a major centre, and that not that major. As I am done with them, I'm okay with passing them on, but beware, you need a large area to lay them out, I do have them separated into sections. I really do not want them to be separated , but I like the idea of putting them on cd, anyone want to organise this?

I cut the templates out of two acetate rolls 4' x?  (long)  probably 100' each, the templates were packed pretty tight,   No way to see them all laid out as they would not fit in my house. Imagine taking all the plywood out of your boat, there is a lot more than you think
