"Mighty Mouse" - 8'(2.40m) One and a Half Sheet Mini Punt
If you enjoy rowing and need a boat which can be built quickly, doesn’t cost much, and is easy for transportation and storage then this tiny vessel might be for you. “Mighty Mouse” is the adult version of our one sheet mini punt “Mickey Mouse”.
"Mickey Mouse" - 8'(2.40m) One Sheet Mini Punt
The idea behind this design was to see how much boat can be squeezed out of a single sheet of plywood 4x8′ (1220 x 2440mm). The resulting boat is suitable for kids to paddle on ponds or very small lakes.
"Colibri" - 7.5'(2.30m) General Purpose Dinghy
This small dinghy can be used for fishing, pleasure rowing or as a tender for a bigger yacht. It can also be fitted with a small outboard motor. The boat has a relatively high freeboard and can take a fair amount of load. It handles very well small waves or wake caused by powerboats.
Smith Island Crab Skiff
The Chesapeake Bay is home to many wonderful work boats, one of the most unique is the tiny Smith Island Crab Skiff. Our team race boat the “Twisted Oyster”, built and raced by a consortium of three friends, has been very successful.
DRIFTWOOD
DRIFTWOOD (ex-WOODPUSSY) is a classic example of a mid-century lapstrake Jersey Sea Skiff, a general style of powerboat that was popular in the middle 1900s all along the East Coast.DRIFTWOOD is planked with ¾″ Jersey white cedar on steam-bent oak ribs on 6″ centers and fastened with copper rivet
MicroCatboat
The design of the boat comes by request of a customer who already owns a Charles W. Wittholz’s catboat and wanted to have a beautiful tender for his yacht.
Fisherman 23
The design of the Fisherman 23′ came from the request of a customer to build a sport fishing boat, fast, trailerable and also comfortable for family trips.
It’s a boat of modern design that is inspired by the American fisherman, with forms less pronounced.
Capriccio 21
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.
Sportfish 570
The design of Sportfish 570 comes from a collaboration with a Senegalese society, with the aim of creating fishing vessels for inland waters of modern conception.
