The Cradle Pram Papoose, for the newborn sailor

BUILD FROM PLANS AND FULL SIZE PATTERNS IN WOOD / EPOXY

The CS-18 is an open interior design with the home builder in mind. It is designed for an above deck fuel tank and less aggressive flare in the bow. These features make this design an easier and faster build and at 18.5′, it will fit in most home garages.

This is a simple 8ft stitch and glue sail/row pram. It requires only 3 sheets of marine plywood and should be very fast, easy, and inexpensive to build. It should end up just over 80lb so easy to transport as well.

MOTH, designed according to the rules of the Classic Moth Class, is a fast and enjoyable boat. It has a narrow hull, designed so as to minimize wet surface, is relatively stable and planes easily.

An oceangoing V-bottomed auxiliary with accommodations for four to six people.

Construction: Carvel planked over sawn frames.

Alternative construction: Plywood (plans included).

Lofting is required.

Plans include 15 sheets.
