Plans & Kits

Kingston 15, A personal weekender for 2.

In the spring of 2013, I started to write a book called, How to Design a Boat using SketchUp 3D Software. The subject matter was my design, ‘Kalostyn’.

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

Sunrise was my home for a decade. She has a typical New England Pinky hull with their extended bulwarks and mini-transom at their conclusion. She has comfortable accommodations for a couple to live aboard, with occasional guests.

POLLY, designed to compete in Diecipiedi (10 Foot) Class (www.diecipiedi.it) is rather large and stable. Quite comfortable for its size it may be used also for sailing excursions.

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

Based on Tom Gillmer and Iver Franzen’s New Moon (an enlargement on Gillmer’s Blue Moon), this sailing vessel is intended to be a stout, seaworthy, offshore-capable passagemaker, with an emphasis on the balance between comfortable sea-keeping and good sailing abilities.
