Plans & Kits

The CS23 is an offshore boat based on the Carolina Sport Fishing boats lines.

This boat has a comfortable feel to it and a stability that makes kayaking in any weather comfortable.

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.

Tern is a lengthened (to 23'9') version of my earlier 20' design Ratty.

A quickly, easily and inexpensively built solo canoe, that can be built by one person with hand tools in three days. Complete plans and step-by-step instructions. A great family boatbuilding project.
