I was one of the fortunate folks to build my Spindrift in Graham's class. I don't have the plans. I benefited from using a jig, templates and serious assistance from Graham, Tom Lathrop and many, many others. I like the idea of rigging up thole pins and trying to find the best position. There is a specialty lumber supplier in my town. I might be able to find clear and straight spruce - premium prices, but they might be available.
