Arch Davis Designs

Arch Davis Design offers wooden boat plans, boat kits, DVDs, epoxy resin, sails and rigging, masts and spars, marine plywood, and more for the backyard boatbuilder, for sailboats, powerboats and rowboats.

I’m Arch Davis – I learned boatbuilding and design in New Zealand in the 1970s. I have been helping people to build beautiful wooden boats since 1988.  My approach to design is to put into your hands the means to use modern materials – marine plywood and epoxy resin – to build a truly lovely boat with classic lines.

I believe that one of life’s great moments is landing on an island in a boat of one’s own building. I hope you will share the experience!
