The Ulua plans came in the mail today, making this DAY ZERO. Included are a number of 1:1 scale blueprint sheets (haven’t seen real, blue blueprints in quite a while), and a CD full of addiional drawings, pics, and instructions in pdf. 
The first step for me was to trot down to Kinko’s to get the more detailed sheets printed up at D-size (at great expense), and wallpaper the living room with them.
Next steps: Since I am fitting out the workshop (i.e. half of a 21′, two-car garage) at the same time as building the boat, I am thinking to start small by building some of the accessories, like the hiking seat, as a warmup. I also have some Norseboat projects in queue, like re-inforcing the centerboard trunk and making a set of floorboards with integral footblocks for better rowing.
I got the cd but not the plans. Hopefully they’ll be here Monday. Can’t wait to get started.
I’ll probably build the strongback first.
my frames are cut, but I didn’t have time(and a place) to start yet.
