Plans & Kits

Here is another little skiff inspired by a Chesapeake Bay working craft.

A working Friendship Sloop, or Maine sloop-boat, documented by Martin C. Erismann at the turn of the century.

MINUETTO SPRINT has been designed according to the rules of the Mini Transat Class as a fast, but not extreme, boat.

Round-bottomed, carvel-planked powerboat with two berths and a single 300-hp engine.

Construction: Carvel planked over steamed frames.

Alternative construction: Strip or cold-molded

Lofting is required.

Plans include 5 sheets.

The Multi 5 is a multihull with a simple construction and good performance. The construction is extremely simplified by the drift absence. The good hulls volume allows to spend pleasant days and moving along the coasts with other friends, having the opportunity to carry up to four people.

NEMAH features a stable, flat bottomed, sharpie type hull that can handle up to 3 passengers and a small outboard up to 5hp. Sides are ¼” plywood and the bottom is 3/8” plywood. A trussed gunnel rail insures hull stiffness.

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 CS25 is an offshore boat based on the Carolina Sport Fishing boats lines.

Construction - Glued lapstrake clinker plywood.
No Lofting required.
Plans include 5 sheets with instructions.
Sail Area - 60 sq. ft.

After numerous requests for a larger version of our “Happy Hour” fishing kayak here is the result. “Long Weekend” is not a mere scale up. Bottom is V-shaped which improves tracking and ability to handle small waves. The slightly narrower beam makes the hull fast. Stability is great.
