Plans & Kits

Shoal-draft ocean voyager

This 16' x 21" [4.9m x 53cm] strip planked kayak is adapted to comfort and responsiveness in active water. The nearly plumb bow and stern provide a long waterline in a compact package, allowing a good turn of speed in manageable size.

This retro styled powerboat was designed for weekend cruisers and fishing, her semi displacement hull offer seaworthy and sea kindly performance, good speeds with modest horsepowers.

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.

Rustica 570 is a cabin motor boat ideal for coastal cruising and camping. It’s particularly suitable for river tourism in protected waters. The shallow V hull, semi-displacement, is designed for an outboard motor hosted inside the cockpit with a power range between 10 HP and 15 HP.

A small and very simple tender to fit inside a station wagon or on a roofrack, this little plywood dink will suit some one wanting a tender for their small yacht or motorboat.

The Wineglass Wherry possesses the wineglass transom and smooth double-ended waterline of a classic rowing boat. A versatile craft, that's easy to build, lightweight (90 lbs) and rugged.

This design came about when I got to thinking about having an elegant dinghy for our 34′ Topsail Ketch Sunrise.

An expedition micro that will accommodate 2 adults for a week-end or a single-hander for up to 5 days. Ability to take on some weather and deliver solid performance while doing so. For the crew: forgiving and predictable but fast & fun. Launch time should be kept to a minimum.

Designed by Joel White, the original boat was built plank-on-frame by Jimmy Steele (of Peapod fame), but no plans were ever drawn-until now.
