Argie 15 plywood sailing dinghy

The Blitz420 sportive dinghy. The sleek lines and narrow hull makes it fast and fun, especially with weak and medium winds.

Haka 123 Shoal-draft ocean voyager.

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:

Light displacement boat, that resume classic water lines into a modern conception.

LOA: 33′ 1″LBP: 32′10″LWL: 26′ 8″BEAM: 10′ 0″DRAFT: 2′ 3½″/5′ 3½″DISPLACEMENT: 9,000lbs (approx)BALLAST: 2,000lbs lead under the settees.1,000lbs additional lead for trim.SAIL AREA: 388 sq.

Cradle Boat Baby Tender II, for the newborn sailor.

A Light and Elegant Tandem for Day Paddlers and Light Overnighters. Easily driven, with moderate rocker and good initial stability.

The Ashes Tandem Day is quick to come up to speed, she’s maneuverable, and she’s beautiful.

A versatile 4-metre open utility / runabout for river and inland lake use, built in taped-seam plywood.

The latest in Bill Garden’s idea of the perfect kid’s cruising boat. Simple enough to be put together in the garage, salty enough to daydream on, and safe enough as well. She’s quite a handsome double-ender, with a fixed keel. This is an “oh my” boat.Construction: Plywood planking over sawn frame
