Day sailer

The PUCK reflects the spirit of the original class which was to create a boat used in regattas but also suitable for coastal cruising, easy to carry and inexpensive.

The Shearwater Hybrid combines the best qualities of stitch-and-glue plywood kayaks with the beauty of a cedar strip deck.

Her 6′ 11″ beam makes for a big 15-footer. Cold-molded, lightweight and trailerable. Construction: Cold-molded. Alternative construction: Carvel, lapstrake or strip. No lofting is required. Plans include 6 sheets.

Like many traditional canoes, the Sassafras 16 is symmetrical, bow and stern. This allows a solo paddler to sit facing backwards on the forward seat for better trim. An elegant lapstrake canoe for two

Simplicity of construction, user friendliness (both for single or double) and high performance – all of this with reasonable costs. These are the main priorities which lie at the base of the DP 14’ design and which justify the main choices made, in particular:

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.

This 16 Talon is designed to give you more boat for less dollars! You will smile zooming over choppy waters with its smooth riding hull.

ALBATROS 36’ is a true “blue water yacht”, classic in its aspect but modern in design and construction.

A small daysailer/cruiser with berths for two. Construction: Plywood planking over sawn frames. Lofting is required. Plans include 8 sheets.
