Plans & Kits

The Cradle Pram Papoose, for the newborn sailor

A big, healthy, open skiff with sophisticated lines. Construction: Strip planking over sawn frames; double diagonal bottom. Alternative construction: Plywood lapstrake topsides. Lofting is required. Plans include 6 sheets

Derived from traditional Norwegian small craft, this handsome double-ender performs as well as a daysailer and beach cruiser.

Clean, frameless, glued-lapstrake plywood hull means, easy construction, happy trailering, and low maintenance.

Construction: Glued lapstrake plywood.

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.

Beamy yet fine-lined rowing/sailing boat designed for lightweight construction.

Construction: Cold-molded.

Lofting is optional.

Plans include 5 sheets.

The Headwater TRANSPORT 9.9 is an easily Car-Topped Pram Dinghy with a constant deadrise 10 deg. V-bottom Planing Hull  with lifting chine strips.  Bow and stern seats provide level flotation if the hull is swamped, and also provide dry storage if watertight closures are installed. 

The Mill Creek 16.5™ is enormously popular because it can be used in so many ways. Not only can you paddle it as a single or a double, but you can sail it, or add a sliding-seat rowing unit.

Steve Killing’s design is fast becoming well-known, in part due to the Endeavour being build in many a WoodenBoat School class, as well as being the featured boat in the Ted Moores book Kayakcraft.This is the boat for you, even if you have never paddled before.

Designed as a cat schooner; both sails have big round poles at their leading edges. Considering the performance potential of this hull, this rig is appropriate. The stayless rig is clean and will be cheap to build with solid fir poles.

This boat, with a LOA of 8 mt,develops an internal volume such as to allow 6 crew members a sailing cruise.The hull lines and deck lines are to corner for simplicity of construction, and are harmonized with the hull volume.
