Plans & Kits

COASTWORKER 30 Build in steel or aluminum

A versatile, 5-metre utility runabout for cottagers, anglers and day trippers, ideal for the first-time builder.

The Chesapeake touring kayaks are icons in the sea kayaking world. Built in the thousands in dozens of countries around the world, the Chesapeakes are solid-tracking, comfortable kayaks.

The Boat BW is a trailerable plywood stitch-and-glue skiff. The outboard-powered modified-vee hull with lifting strakes provides an efficient hull that rises on to plane with little-to-no porpoising. The below-deck bulkheaded and sealed compartments provide superb secondary flotation.

A 12 ft. outboard-powered multipurpose jonboat.

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.

Construction - Glued lapstrake clinker plywood. No Lofting required. Plans include 7 sheets with photocopies of Classic Boat building series. Sail Area - 67 sq. ft.

Thank you for considering my plans for BOWLER, a “cruising” version of my TOP HAT launch. These boats are descended from Harry Bryan’s inspired Handy Billy design, which in turn can trace it’s origins back to William Hand's vee bottom designs from the early 20th century.

High capacity yacht tender with sailing ability. Exceptional stability, suited to beginner boatbuilders

In the spring of 2013, I started to write a book called, How to Design a Boat using SketchUp 3D Software. The subject matter was my design, ‘Kalostyn’.
