Wood strip/epoxy plans and kits

ROBERTS 470 - WOOD EPOXY

The Milford 20 is a trailer-able shoal draft sharpie schooner modelled on the New Haven sharpies of the late 19th. century. It was inspired by Mark Fitzgerald’s FLORIDAYS design, as published in Reuel Parker’s Sharpie Book and featured in Watercraft Magazine.

Sandy is a husky centerboard cutter designed for extended coastal cruising in such areas as the east coasts of the U.S. or Australia, the Pacific Northwest, or Europe.

The idea was a boat that handles like a good racing dinghy, but is much easier to store and transport. Rooftop.
