A 10' Flat Bottom Powerboat/Rowboat

A great family boatbuilding project! Build it in a weekend from a kit, or build it from plans using local materials.

Rugged, simple, stable, and economical to build, the Lumber Yard skiffs are based on traditional New England flat bottom work skiffs.

SIRENETTA is a mini kayak conceived for young people, but it may be used also by adults. The flat bottom and the reasonably large beam make it safe and suitable for beginner canoeists.

Based on the Donzi Sweet 16, this little treasure boasts a generous deep V at the transom allowing for smoother running and bad weather handling.
