Plans & Kits

A small Carolina-Style center console fishing boat.

The CS-21 was inspired by the iconic Harkers Island style work boats. This center console design features the famous Carolina flare and a modified V bottom shape for a comfortable and stable ride while maintaining a spacious interior.

Schooner-yacht designed by George Steers and launched in 1851, the first winner of what has come to be known as the AMERICA’s Cup.

Capacious, seaworthy, flat-bottomed skiff weighing less than 150 lbs. Construction: Cross-planked bottom, lapstrake sides. No lofting is required. Plans include 5 sheets.

The sharply raked stem and well shaped forward sections will provide increasing buoyancy as the Endeavour punches into large waves.

The recent America’s Cup has proven what is the potential of fast acceleration with a trimaran hull “piercing bow,” that is designed to penetrate the wave and not to float on the waves. Beyond the result the difference in behavior between Oracle and Alinghi was bright watching the races.

A comfortable small cruising boat with berths for either two or four and an alternate schooner rig.

Construction: Carvel planking over steamed frames

Lofting is required.

Plans include 10 sheets.

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. Alternative construction —Traditional plank, cold molded and strip plank. No Lofting required. Plans include 7 sheets with instructions. Sail Area — Lug 65 sq. ft. Sloop 84 sq. ft. Yawl 81 sq. ft.

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