I have built three of Jim Michalak's designs Toto, Larsboat, and Trilars, plans for all three are consistent with the plans for the Toon2.  The builder familiar with stitch and glue (or taped seam if you prefer) boat building will be pleased with the plans.  If you are new to this type of construction there are many resources on the net that explain how and many good books on the topic, including: "Stitch and Glue Boatbuilding", "Instant Boatbuilding" by Harold "Dynamite" Payson, Sam Devlin's "How to Build Any Boat the Stitch and Glue Way" and Jim's own book "Boatbuilding for Beginners and Beyond".

The Toon2 design is a 15' multichine sailboat, with a beam of 5.5' and weighing 300 pounds.  She has a 5.5' long cabin and cockpit of roughly the same length.   There is a water tight compartment aft accessible by a deck hatch and some room forward of the cabin and below the deck.  The sail rig is a 96 sqft. triangular sprit sail with at 21' mast.  The mast is stepped in the cabin and is offset to port which is not uncommon in boats like this and Phillip Bolger had several designs that employed this same design element.  The use of a leeboard for lateral resistance keeps the cabin and cockpit open, though some don't like the look.  Admittedly I was once a leeboard snob, but out of ignorance.  Since building my Trilars, there are some definite advantages to a leeboard, no hole in our boat for centerboard, you can see exactly what is going on with it while underway, and is easily removed for travel and storage if needed.  I would suggest the use of a break away cam cleat to help hold down, these are supplied at duckworksbbs.com.  Plans call for seven sheets of 1/4" plywood and two sheets of 1/2" plywood.  Supplemental propulsion would be provided by oars, there is not a motor mount in the plans.

The set comes with four sheets of designs (pictured below) and a three page set of specifications.   Sheet 1 provides three standard views of the boat and a table of offsets.  The views can be very helpful when assembling parts to help give a final state picture to the builder.  The table of offsets aren't needed for building but are a throw back to older methods of boatbuilding.

Sheet 2 is where the action starts.  On this sheet all the dimensions for the bulkheads and temporary forms are supplied.  Some clarification is also show for bevels on bulkhead framing and on using wire ties for stitching.  Additionally a plan is provided for making ones own oars.  Some full size stem details are also given.

On sheet 3 all the sail rig information is laid out.  This includes the rudder, leeboard, mast and sail.  The sail could be made by the builder in dacron, or polytarp, or certainly could be purchased through a sail loft or duckworks. 

Sheet 4 has the layout of all the plywood parts, and dimensions for the bottom, bilge and side panels.  The deck and seat tops are also provided on this sheet.  In building the Toon2 the designer indicates that the butt block method is fine for connecting plywood sheets, and the builder needs to remember to build mirror image pairs of sides and bilge panels.  Scarfed panels would not work for this design as the side panels are spread across the 16' of joined ply. 

The three page spec sheets provides guidance that is keyed by letters and numbers to the plans sheets.  It provides tips and clarity that may not be inherent from the drawings alone. 

In conclusion, I like Jim's plans.  I find them easy to work from, clear and easy to understand.  Jim's designs are easy to build and can be finished in as little or as much "fanciness" as one wants.  My concerns with the Toon2 designs lie with the cuddy cabin.  The 5.5 length may not be long enough for lying down in, and the mast steps to the floor which may take up some room, but as mentioned it is offset to port which should allow roll over room. Head room is very limited, but for camp type sleeping in the cabin not a big deal and the slot top allows easy access forward.   That said as a beach camper the cabin would provide lots of storage space. A nice feature is the bench seats in the cockpit, many of Jim's boats have one sitting on the floor.  I have not been able to find a completed Toon2 on the internet so if I decide to build (or when not if) it may be the first.
