Notes on Hardware Lists

Please note that these lists are offered as a generic guide only. They cannot be definitive, nor absolutely correct for your boat, because in drawing them up, many assumptions on layout and/or materials have been made. These assumptions are merely one of a multitude of other possible solutions, any of which could be considered "correct". In any event, much of the point - and the pleasure - of building your own boat is to engage in the process of making the choices you want to make, so creating the outcome you want. So it is recommended that you use these lists as a sort of checklist to help you make your own selection, and to get a rough feel for the costs of outfit. Any feedback or comments you may have would be much appreciated. Known omissions include shackles, fasteners and reefing gear. Not to mention anything else that I have missed.
