No that I'm aware of.  Renn had it in PDF but never sold it as he was afraid it would get posted on the web.

I bought 2 each of Renn's first and second books, and he sent me the Widebody and Jumbo addendums to the first book, with his hand-written notes on them, before he wrote the second book.  I keep one set as a pristine collector's sort of thing, and just one of the 2nd book's became "shop copy".  Lots of notes in that one, and pages falling out from high use etc .... but it's also a cool add to the collection - it speaks of the experience of building one of these boats.

Regarding Renn's first book "A Skiff for all Seasons", at one point he had a batch "quick printed".
Not sure of the amount but you can tell them by the low res darker photos.
I bought 6 from him when we were selling his books, down to one that I'm keeping.

As a side note, I looked into NFTs, blockchain, web3 to see if there is a way to sell pdfs that keeps them from being copied and ripped off, and at least for now, this is in not possible.

Web3 validates transactions history, not the actual, individual pdf. Which is a good reason to be a skeptical of all the hype... web3 doesn't seem useful. As a published academic, Ive spent a lot of time managing pdfs (the currency of academia), what a horrible format and use-case.

The utility of computers is that its easy to copy things, but thats also why the economics falls apart (napster/mp3s).  Its way easier to cheat on math tests nowadays, but that doesn't change whether its wrong to cheat on math tests... end result is the same; either fail or cheat, you still dont know shit about math.
