The Required Hull Shape
Officially speaking, there are no plans, only a hull shape that you must conform to as specified in the rules.
Click on Class Rules at the menu on the left for the hull shape plus the class rules.
You can build the boat any way you want, the most common and easy method is the "nail and glue" method where you use a chine log to join pieces of plywood.
For a pictorial of how this is done, see the Building BucketEars article.

Plans for Sale - by Professional Boat Designers
Michael Storer's OZ Mk-II PDRacer
Michael created a very curvy, stylish hull configuration that still conforms to the hull shape rules.
The interior features contemporary placement of structure to make her a very competitive boat to race with.
The plans include 95 pages of very complete, professional detailed plans with lots of photographs and drawings.
Even if you don't build your PD exactly like the OZ version, the details in the plans are well worth the small purchase price.
