Plans & Kits

VILA 650 is the biggest of the VILA family of three small planning cruisers.

Designed with extended wilderness paddlers in mind, her easy handling, good stability and low weight (only 60 lbs) make the Taiga an excellent choice for weekend and day excursions as well.

The CS-18 is an open interior design with the home builder in mind. It is designed for an above deck fuel tank and less aggressive flare in the bow. These features make this design an easier and faster build and at 18.5′, it will fit in most home garages.

Here is a small dinghy which can be used for fishing, pleasure rowing or as a tender of a bigger boat. TWEAK was born by tweaking the popular D4/D5 dinghy.

Argie 15 plywood sailing dinghy

The input was “design a pure cruising boat”.The boat has wide internal volumes, limited draft, average/high displacement and sailing area which do not require a continuos sail change.The hull lines have been developed both to corner and round.We wanted to realize something new for deck design.

A 10' Flat Bottom Powerboat/Rowboat

Construction: Glued lapstrake plywood. Alternative construction: Traditional planking, cold molded, strip plank, epoxy-fiberglass. No Lofting required. Plans include 5 sheets.

The Great Alaskan is a very versatile inshore/offshore powerboat with a seaworthy semi-dory style hull. These fiberglass/wood stitch-n-tape boat plans give the builder the freedom to adapt the cuddy, pilothouse, and cockpit layout to his preference.

Designed For Capacity The Merry Two is the versatile Merry - row with a partner, take a friend as a passenger, or row by yourself - perfect for the larger rower. Or tour as Matt Kirchoff did with his son, on a one month trip exploring the outer coast of Chichagof Island in SE Alaska!
