Plans & Kits

The Lobster Boat 26 (LB26) is a plan for amateur builders like no other!

The lines for this canoe were taken from an original ‘Huron’ built in cedar/canvas by the Peterborough Canoe Company. It was a second grade model in a series of Cruiser canoes that measured from 16′ x 33″ to 18′ x 37″.

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

Tom Cat is a shoal draft catboat of plank-on-frame construction, but strip construction would do as well.

Lofting is required.

Sail area is 120 sq. ft.

Plan includes 9 sheets.

This very narrow, very fast double is perfect for athletic couples who want to really cover the miles, whether it's for excercise, super-fast touring, or winning races.

Under license from the MIT's Hart Nautical Collections, Doug Hylan and Maynard Bray have collaborated to produce a highly detailed builder's package for this N. G. Herreshoff classic daysailer.

A most elegant lapstrake, plywood peapod for oar and sail.

Full-sized mold patterns are included.

Construction: Glued-lapstrake plywood.

Alternative construction: Traditional lapstrake.

No lofting is required.

The idea behind this design was to see how much boat can be squeezed out of a single sheet of plywood 4x8′ (1220 x 2440mm). The resulting boat is suitable for kids to paddle on ponds or very small lakes.

TRILLO is a fast but non-extreme trimaran that we designed with the aim of making it as simple as possible for amateur boatbuilders.

This is a design for a basic hull made from one piece of closed cell foam 1m x 4m x 50mm thick.
