A 16' Classic Plywood Runabout

The Milford 20 is a trailer-able shoal draft sharpie schooner modelled on the New Haven sharpies of the late 19th. century. It was inspired by Mark Fitzgerald’s FLORIDAYS design, as published in Reuel Parker’s Sharpie Book and featured in Watercraft Magazine.

The F1830 is the newest BYD design and the tandem version of the F1430 Sit On Top kayak. It is a second generation boat, with an optimized hull and simplified kit. This boat will easily carry 2 adults and a big cooler, or 2 adults and a couple of small kids.

The Multi 5 is a multihull with a simple construction and good performance. The construction is extremely simplified by the drift absence. The good hulls volume allows to spend pleasant days and moving along the coasts with other friends, having the opportunity to carry up to four people.

We designed KIS dinghies in order to meet a very practical need of amateur boatbuilders.

With her 28″ beam, substantial flare, and sweetly shaped ends, she loves rough water. Her plywood hull is one of the prettiest we’ve seen.Construction: Plywood over web frames. Lofting is required.Plans include 4 sheets.

The classical hull shape of old wooden runabouts of the 70’s combines perfectly well with the use of marine plywood. This allows SILVER 55 to be in the same time elegant and simple to build.

TRILLO is a fast but non-extreme trimaran that we designed with the aim of making it as simple as possible for amateur boatbuilders.

DRIADE is a light and fast rowing boat, ideal for those who wish to train for rowing with a simpler, easier to handle and cheaper boat than the typical rowing skiff.

MANDOLINO is an elegant, classical seaworthy small boat that we propose in two versions, one for day-sailing and one for cruising.
