Easily to build, versatile, sailing pram

A modern iteration of Philippine double outrigger canoe. Adapting to present-day construction method, the wooden facetted hull still has the silhouette of the Austronesian “Bangka”.

A stitch & glue tender that can be rowed, motored and that sails like a charm.

MASH is a design I created for Woodenboat Magazine’s Sketchbook article, issue 275, July/August 2020. She is a 24ft power cruiser with a cuddy cabin designed in the lobsterboat style.

Caprice is a Mini Offshore Cruiser for two.

Built with double sawn frames and strip plank, this little gaff cutter is designed for long term cruising.

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.

The recent America’s Cup has proven what is the potential of fast acceleration with a trimaran hull “piercing bow,” that is designed to penetrate the wave and not to float on the waves. Beyond the result the difference in behavior between Oracle and Alinghi was bright watching the races.

Fox offers a near perfect blend of stability, versatility, performance and good looks on the water. She is a double-paddle boat suitable for camping expeditions or family outings and day trips.

The GYPSY 28 was the Woods Designs’ own cruising boat for five very successful years. It was designed as an easy-to-build budget ocean cruiser and many are now sailing in all corners of the world.

The Solo Day is simple. She’s light, easily carried, and not for the fussy. Best results will be obtained if the builder can curtail the urge to use fancy marquetry, or exotic woods.
