IRC cruiser-racer

SPHERA is a simple cruising boat, studied for the maximum ease of construction in relation to its size.

The latest in Bill Garden’s idea of the perfect kid’s cruising boat. Simple enough to be put together in the garage, salty enough to daydream on, and safe enough as well. She’s quite a handsome double-ender, with a fixed keel. This is an “oh my” boat.Construction: Plywood planking over sawn frame

The drawing board of Sam Devlin has created another winner. The Pelicano Shrimper is an excellent choice for anyone who wants to maximize practicality in an 18' 4" package. The design has a small cabin forward, with enough space for a v-berth for the occasional overnight.

Harbor Woodworks offers custom kits and boats, tailored to your specifications and desired level of completion. We ship to the U.S.

Small blue water cruiser with Junk rig, inside steering station, and accommodation for up to four persons.
Suitable for home boatbuilders, all wood construction, lead ballast cast in small pigs.

BABY BAGGIE is quite long and difficult to build for its size (10 Foot) but has been designed mainly to satisfy the desire of having a small elegant boat.

COASTWORKER 30 Build in steel or aluminum

The Swifty 12 is the most popular boat in the Shell Boats fleet, with several hundred built from our kits and plans. Docile and easily handled, the Swifty will plane on a reach in a good breeze, but you will have to work very hard to get it to capsize.

The SILVER 333 is a very small classical runabout for one or two people which may easily be transported on top of a mid-size car roof. Maximum suggested power of the motor is 15/20 HP, which is sufficient for planing.
