Plans & Kits

Inspired by the reconstruction of a 1950's boat.

Hyak is a single kayak designed for multi-day excursions and recreational racing.

The candlefish is a versatile small fishing boat. Originally designed to be a cartoppable fishing skiff for high latitude rivers and lakes, she has also proven to be an excellent yacht tender.

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 is my latest design for the Twopointfour metre class. An easy to build lowbudget boat ment to be competetive on the race course.

The Willow is ideal for day paddles, but has the volume and solid performance required of a true expedition kayak. Featured in a how to build article in WB #195-197, taught at the WoodenBoat School.

This boat is happy playing near the beach, on portages or off on a two week canoe trip.

Beamy yet fine-lined rowing/sailing boat designed for lightweight construction.
