If you’re in the market for a boat to build, this directory of Boat Plans & Kits is a fine place to start. And if your company sells plans or kits, we invite you to list your offerings here. There is no charge for listing, but the featured boats must be built of wood. To refine your search of this directory, use quotation marks. If you search Nutshell Pram Kit, you’ll receive all the listings that include the words Nutshell, Pram, and Kit.

This design was inspired by Ross Lillistone’s “Water Rat”. The bow transom was replaced by a pointed stem. Also the internal volume and from there the displacement of the boat were increased by about 20%. Changes were made to the seating arrangement as well.
TITICAT is a 9-meter sailing catamaran designed with a modern style for the transport of tourists and to build in strip planking. It was designed to sail on Lake Titicaca (Bolivia).
Rustica 570 is a cabin motor boat ideal for coastal cruising and camping. It’s particularly suitable for river tourism in protected waters. The shallow V hull, semi-displacement, is designed for an outboard motor hosted inside the cockpit with a power range between 10 HP and 15 HP.
Techne is a pure double trapeze skiff, fast, exciting and for amateur boat building.
After numerous requests for a larger version of our “Happy Hour” fishing kayak here is the result. “Long Weekend” is not a mere scale up. Bottom is V-shaped which improves tracking and ability to handle small waves. The slightly narrower beam makes the hull fast. Stability is great.
The Wineglass Wherry possesses the wineglass transom and smooth double-ended waterline of a classic rowing boat. A versatile craft, that's easy to build, lightweight (90 lbs) and rugged.
Based loosely on the Folkboat, this plywood lapstrake double-ender combines comforting rough-water ability, and good looks.
Construction: Lapstrake plywood over laminated frames.
Alternative construction: Traditional plank on frame, strip or cold-molded.
This charming addition to our cradle boat fleet is adapted from a type known as a pram. Prams have transoms at both bow and stern, and are used extensively as tenders for larger vessels because of their roominess in a relatively short length.
This 24' Australian design provides three arrangements to choose from-a small cuddy, or two cabin styles.
Construction is plywood with a single hard-chine.
Construction: Plywood planking over sawn frames.
Alternative construction: Strip.
Lofting is required.
Mahogany planked on oiled oak frames. Spruce spars and stainless rigging.
