We are proud to introduce Li’l Longship, the latest addition to our extensive cradle boat fleet. Designed in the spirit of the classic Viking Longship, her sweeping lines and imposing figureheads embody the spirit of adventure and exploration when Norse sailors ruled the waterways of Europe.

JUNIOR, designed to compete in Diecipiedi (10 Foot) Class (www.diecipiedi.it), is norrower and therefore less stable than other boats but it is one of the fastest monohulls of the class.

Beautiful 8 ft mahogany runabout with electric power. Great for children but will accommodate adult(s).

The AC 75 Evolution design input was to crate a trailerable boat with a small displacement, building with traditional materials such as wood. Another request was to have a comfort and an interior volume typical of larger size boats. We have modified the deck lines to achieve these results.

The idea was a boat that handles like a good racing dinghy, but is much easier to store and transport. Rooftop.

An easy-towing, easy-rowing tender featuring simple plywood construction and good capacity.

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 Solo Day is simple. She’s light, easily carried, and not for the fussy. Best results will be obtained if the builder can curtail the urge to use fancy marquetry, or exotic woods.
