ATLANTIC 550

Most Pram dinghies are essentially rowing or sailing boats, which limits their speed potential to a mere 3 or 4 knots.

Sea Otter was designed for an adult night school class I was teaching in boat building, in which nine boats were built at one time. Actually the principles of construction used in Sea Otter are the same as used in many of our larger designs.

Spring Lake Small Craft can provide a very complete CNC routed kit for the Pippie 8 tender. Designed by Mike Waller (http://www.wallerdesign.com.au) to be used as a very versatile tender.

Designed with extended wilderness paddlers in mind, her easy handling, good stability and low weight (only 60 lbs) make the Taiga an excellent choice for weekend and day excursions as well.

The traditional yawlboat is a hard-working boat, carried on the stern davits of a larger working vessel. They have sweet shapes to be easily driven and as was befitting the pride of workmanship that went into their construction.This latter day version is much lighter and smaller in size.

Simple sheet plywood sports rowing boat, stitch and tape construction. As easy to build as it gets!

A versatile half-canopy launch, offering many internal layout options. She is especially suited for employment as a personnel launch or commercial fisherman/crabber; or maybe just a family launch.

A stately 10′ rowing/sailing tender originally designed for my own first time build which is currently underway. I wanted an easy to construct boat, yet still retain the techniques and appearance of traditional lapstrake planking.

Good performance with modest horsepower, a soft and predictable ride. I/O or outboard, 80-200hp.
