Arrow
I built “Arrow” from a CLC kit, designing my own pattern for the deck and redesigning CLC’s combing. It took six months to build and the experience was very impactful. I fell in love with this boat before I ever launched her and kayaking is now a renewed pleasure!
START 30
The plan has been designed according to the regulations of the class “10 feet”. So was born a simple, light and very fast plan.Start 30 has a double life.
Canoe Eagle Feather engine inboard + long tail + teleflex
Sorry for my English but I write the translator google.
I built a canoe with wood strip technology.
Long Tail 6.5hp motor rigidly with the possibility of raising and lowering the shaft + teleflex.

For Sail
Built as a tender for our Daysailer. The Pram will help us get out to the mooring and back. This is not my first build, but is a great first boat for anyone who wants to give building a try.

Fair Winds
This dory style sailboat was built in a small wood shop in my yard. It took ten months to build and would never have happened had it not been for the folks at Chesapeake Light Craft and their assistance.
