A 10' Flat Bottom Powerboat/Rowboat

Mia was the second design that I published, a 12′ runabout, inspired in part by William Jackson's 1955 design for the “Ace” which was produced by the Sande Boat Works between 1956 and 1962 (www.sandeace.com), and in part by the 1950’s designs of Hal Kelly.Mia

Alternative construction - Traditional, cold-molded and strip plank.

No Lofting required.

Sail Area - Lug 87 sq. ft.

Sloop 104 sq. ft.

The drawing board of Sam Devlin has created another winner. The Pelicano Shrimper is an excellent choice for anyone who wants to maximize practicality in an 18' 4" package. The design has a small cabin forward, with enough space for a v-berth for the occasional overnight.

The length of the American Whitehall of the 19th century was between 13′ and 23′. 16′ was the most typical length and the boats were built for 2 or 3 rowers.

This is a boat simple to build, economical to use and that has a minimum of habitability and a lot of deck space for outdoor living.The construction method is the “stitch and paste” because of its small size.The hull is in CPM 10 mm thk.

The Selkie takes two of our most popular boats (The Arctic Tern 14 and the Murrelet) and marries them into one elegant, light weight boat that petite women, or those looking for a tight fitting play boat, will love.
