Cradle Boat Baby Tender II, for the newborn sailor.

Derived from traditional Norwegian small craft, this handsome double-ender performs as well as a daysailer and beach cruiser.

Clean, frameless, glued-lapstrake plywood hull means, easy construction, happy trailering, and low maintenance.

Construction: Glued lapstrake plywood.

After numerous requests for a larger version of our “Happy Hour” fishing kayak here is the result. “Long Weekend” is not a mere scale up. Bottom is V-shaped which improves tracking and ability to handle small waves. The slightly narrower beam makes the hull fast. Stability is great.

This schooner is designed to be able to cruise offshore with a crew of four people.
Here heavy displacement and built down hull will make for a comfortable motion

The Boat BW is a trailerable plywood stitch-and-glue skiff. The outboard-powered modified-vee hull with lifting strakes provides an efficient hull that rises on to plane with little-to-no porpoising. The below-deck bulkheaded and sealed compartments provide superb secondary flotation.

Traditional Wood Strip CanoeThe Mystic River is a tidal estuary in southeast Connecticut. Starting in Old Mystic it runs through the pretty seaport town of Mystic, home to the Mystic Seaport Museum, out to Fishers Island Sound.

Simon found an older version of this boat back in the eighties and realized that its thousand-year-old design could be copied and preserved without too much difficulty. He measured it out in ’89 and Bill Nielsen lofted it and drew up the plans in ’91.

The Puur 17 is a trailerable performance daysailer that’s been featured in Small Craft Advisor. The modern design is unsinkable, self-righting from knock-down, easy to solo, and comfortable for 2 adults with 2 kids.
