The Cradle Pram Papoose, for the newborn sailor

Based loosely on the Folkboat, this plywood lapstrake double-ender combines comforting rough-water ability, and good looks.

Alternative construction: Traditional plank on frame, strip or cold-molded.

This Catamaran was designed for the avid home builder. Solid construction ensures a sturdy seagoing vessel for family cruising and exploring. The Magnificat was designed to maximise the space below and provide comfortable accomodations.

A 14' Classic Style Runabout

Chesapeake Light Craft’s Eastport Nesting Pram shares its hull with the popular stock Eastport Pram dinghy, a champion 7′9″ yacht tender that can carry a decent load, rows and tows with ease, and sails beautifully.

In designing Capriccio we have been inspired by the aesthetics of the classic sport runabouts of the Thirties, which had the pilot seat in the extreme aft-wards of the boat and a powerful engine under a long deck in front of them.

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.

This charming addition to our cradle boat fleet is adapted from a type known as a pram. Prams have transoms at both bow and stern, and are used extensively as tenders for larger vessels because of their roominess in a relatively short length.

As much functional sculpture as sea kayak, the Arctic Hawk™ could be the most refined stitch-and-glue watercraft anywhere in the world.

The Solo Quick blends efficiency, weight carrying capacity and beauty. Paddlers will find that her lean entry and minimalist profile make for a surprisingly quick and versatile hull.
