The performance choice for fitness rowing

The Solo Quick blends efficiency, weight carrying capacity and beauty. Paddlers will find that her lean entry and minimalist profile make for a surprisingly quick and versatile hull.

These handsome, practical row boats were routinely built by Nova Scotia shipwright, Jim Smith in six days, painted and ready for the water.

The Hiawatha is a general purpose recreational canoe of light displacement, designed in the tradition of contemporary American cruisers. A good solo canoe, it is also very fast and responsive.

Buckley Yacht Design have increased the size of the kit boat which is on offer. This 39′ Catamaran is the largest kit boat in the portfolio.

MAGIC TIMES is a wooden boat for fishing and hiking which combines comfort of stability and aisance of displacement vieu its light weight it can be easily transported everywhere.

This schooner is intended as a comfortable cruising yacht for a couple with occasional guests, and to be of simple construction so that Jack everyman can build it.  It has a twin keel / centreline rudder configuration.
