Plans & Kits

Didi 34 radius chine plywood cruiser/racer

Thank you for considering my plans for BOWLER, a “cruising” version of my TOP HAT launch. These boats are descended from Harry Bryan’s inspired Handy Billy design, which in turn can trace it’s origins back to William Hand's vee bottom designs from the early 20th century.

MINUETTO CRUISER is the moderate version of a Mini Transat. Even if designed according to the class rules it has no ambition to compete but is just a fast and safe day-cruiser.

When I first saw WoodenBoat Magazine’s boat design competition to design a modern wooden runabout, I was very excited. I’m sure most of the other competitors in this competition feel the same way.
