Family cruising catamaran

Here's a handy boat that can be rowed, sailed, and powered with up to three large adults, and it "nests" to take up less space.

Developed in response to requests from heavier and wider paddlers who also wanted a shorter boat, this stable load carrier is excellent for the novice kayaker.

Rugged little launch with generous beam.

Construction features a traditional backbone of bolted-up oak, steam-bent frames and strip-planking. Four different arrangements are shown.

Construction: Strip-planked over steam-bent frames.

Classic sport fishing boat in the style of the Abaco boats. A classic, smooth riding, variable deadrise hull finishing with 17 degrees deadrise at the transom.

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

VILA 620 is the intermediate model of the VILA family of three small planing motor cruisers/fisherman designed for amateur boat builders.

This charming addition to our cradle boat fleet is adapted from a type known as a pram. Prams have transoms at both bow and stern, and are used extensively as tenders for larger vessels because of their roominess in a relatively short length.
