Plans & Kits

An easily built ,attractive, plywood pirogue/canoe.

A versatile 4-metre open utility / runabout for river and inland lake use, built in taped-seam plywood.

We designed KIS dinghies in order to meet a very practical need of amateur boatbuilders.

‘Volare’ comes in two versions. This is the utility version, the console version is available as a separate set of plans. They’re both 15′4″ long and 5′ wide.Her length is that of two sheets of 8′ plywood and she’s built in two halves (bow end and stern end).

Simplicity of construction, user friendliness (both for single or double) and high performance – all of this with reasonable costs. These are the main priorities which lie at the base of the DP 14’ design and which justify the main choices made, in particular:

Luonteri is a “trail hiking kayak”, that can be divided into three parts. It makes storage and transportation more easy. In addition, the kayak can be transported as a “cart” with one wheel along roads or trails.
