A 16' Classic Plywood Runabout

Good speed and sea keeping ability with low impact & noise. 50hp outboard or inboard diesel.

The West River 18™ has built a huge following thanks to its speed, comfortable cockpit, and lithe good looks.

“Breeze” is a 10′ (3m) double paddle canoe. Two sheets of plywood needed. Stitch and glue construction using 3″(75mm) fiberglass tape in epoxy for all seams inside and out. The deciding factors when designing the boat were mostly the same as with all my designs - seaworthiness and lightweight.

The Unicat 2.4 is all about practicality and safety. Packing a 230kg load capacity, the Unicat is suitable for 3 adults, and the inverted vee hull is much more stable than conventional dinghies. The high freeboard also ensures a dry ride in most conditions.

The Noank Pulling Boat is an 18′ x 36″ [5.5m x 91cm] sliding seat rowing boat suitable for open water travel.

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.

Her 6′ 11″ beam makes for a big 15-footer. Cold-molded, lightweight and trailerable. Construction: Cold-molded. Alternative construction: Carvel, lapstrake or strip. No lofting is required. Plans include 6 sheets.

This design has the same nice interior space layout as Badger, with the addition of quarter berths aft. For a family of four to live aboard, as has been done on one of the sisterships, this provides good separation of the sleeping spaces.

Fast and slim, Seguin’s 21 1/2″ beam will challenge and reward experienced paddlers.Built of 4mm plywood, this hard-chined, stitch-and-glue sea kayak includes a retractable skeg that will provide balance and control.Construction: Stitch-and-glue plywood.No lofting is required.Plans include 5 shee
