Minimum size ocean voyager

21′ Planing Skiff

The Olga 28 is a trailerable power cruiser constructed with plywood and epoxy. The design was inspired by the classic power boats of the Pacific Northwest, while her construction takes advantage of modern materials to produce a lightweight, easily maintained boat.

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. 

We designed KIS dinghies in order to meet a very practical need of amateur boatbuilders.

This design came about when I got to thinking about having an elegant dinghy for our 34′ Topsail Ketch Sunrise.

Small enough to load on top of a car, but large enough to seat two adults...

Shallow-draft, V-bottomed pocket cruiser with spartan accommodations for two.

MARSH HEN offers seaworthy and seakindly performance, good speeds with modest horsepower, and handsome looks. Her plywood construction is more accessible to amateur builders.

The SAMPAN 36 HOUSEBOAT is a simple, pragmatic floating home suitable for a couple with a child. It is self-contained and intended for use in a marina or at anchor. It may employ an outboard motor, or simply be towed to a semi-permanent mooring.
