Traditional Wood Strip CanoeThe Mystic River is a tidal estuary in southeast Connecticut. Starting in Old Mystic it runs through the pretty seaport town of Mystic, home to the Mystic Seaport Museum, out to Fishers Island Sound.

DRIADE is a light and fast rowing boat, ideal for those who wish to train for rowing with a simpler, easier to handle and cheaper boat than the typical rowing skiff.

Being a big fan of the Irish Pucan and I’m hoping to make building in wood both simpler and more straightforward. An encouragement for builders to have a go at building their own boat.

Swansea Pilot Schooner, flush-decked cruiser, based on the earliest type (late 18th/early 19th century). This vessel is intended for open ocean cruising.

This design has the same nice interior space layout as Badger, with the addition of quarter berths aft. For a family of four to live aboard, as has been done on one of the sisterships, this provides good separation of the sleeping spaces.

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.  

Accomodates 2-4 for daysailing, and has a small cuddy cabin. Construction: Carvel Planked over sawn frames. Alternative construction: Strip, or strip bottom with plywood sides. Lofting is required. Plans include 7 sheets.
