The performance choice for fitness rowing

October 8th, 1977, twenty-four “21 feet sailing boats” single handed left Penzance (United Kingdom) for Antigua with a stopover in Tenerife.The smallest offshore racing boats were born and so was favourite race: the Mini Transat.

The Coho is one of our best sellers for both day paddles and as a touring kayak. She has drawn high praise from a 5'2" woman and a 6'2" man alike, and is suited for both novice and advanced paddlers.

The Sharpie Cat 42 is a new catamaran design from a regular WoodenBoat contributor, author and marine architect Reuel B. Parker. She is a fast cruising cat with accommodations for eight in four cabins.

I originally designed this kayak for a customer with a lake house in Wisconsin. He is a fit, athletic guy with almost no experience in a kayak. He wanted something he felt comfortable in, yet which would move along nicely.

Caprice is a Mini Offshore Cruiser for two.

Built with double sawn frames and strip plank, this little gaff cutter is designed for long term cruising.

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.

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

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

The Shearwater Hybrid combines the best qualities of stitch-and-glue plywood kayaks with the beauty of a cedar strip deck.
