This Bear Mountain design is an efficient wilderness canoe that has proven exceptionally seaworthy.
Sloop designed by N.G. Herreshoff in 1891. A revolutionary yacht, she featured a convex bow rather than the then-current long, hollow entrance.
PUCK 550 REGATA has been designed with the intention of creating a MICRO CLASS easily and quickly realizable with the stitch and glue method, but able to compete seriously in the class.
SCHIZZO is a simple, essential, versatil motorboat, suitable for novice boatbuilders.
NAIADE is a little bit shorter than classical sea kayaks but it is perfectly suitable for pleasure trips in calm waters, under safe conditions, even for amateur paddlers.
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.
This exquisite launch leaves little wake at five knots. Her plans show both cold-molded and plank-on-frame construction. Construction: Cold-Molded or Carvel planked over steamed frames. Alternative construction: Lapstrake. Lofting is required. Plans include 5 sheets.
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:
Fliptail 6, 7 and 9 foot lightweight folding dinghies. They row well and can plane with an outboard up to 3.3hp and can be adapted to sail using an Optimist sailing rig.

Contruction: Carvel planked over steamed frames
Alternative contruction: Lapstrake, strip or cold-molded
