It’s hard to imagine you could make a nicer gift for your favorite munchkin. Created by Buckley Smith (author of Moonsailors) this animated rocking dory is oozing with personality.

The Headwater Fourteen [H-14] was designed and the prototype built in the Summer of 1985 to test the viability of using frameless, stressed skin construction to build a serviceable Whitewater drift boat.

An easy-towing, easy-rowing tender featuring simple plywood construction and good capacity.

Plans include 3 sheets.

‘Volare’ comes in two versions. This is the console version, the utility version is available as a separate set of plans. They’re both 15′4″ long and 5′ wide.Her length is that of two sheets of 8′ plywood and she’s built in two halves (bow end and stern end).

Harbor Woodworks offers custom kits and boats, tailored to your specifications and desired level of completion. We ship to the U.S.

This design was inspired by Ross Lillistone’s “Water Rat”. The bow transom was replaced by a pointed stem. Also the internal volume and from there the displacement of the boat were increased by about 20%. Changes were made to the seating arrangement as well.

The project, despite its small size, develops a discrete internal volume allowing to nr. 4 crew members to spend short cruises with good speed and pleasant navigation.The hull lines and the deck are to corner for simplicity of construction, and are harmonized with the hull volume.
