Plans & Kits

Haka 123 Shoal-draft ocean voyager.

Thank you for considering my plans for BOWLER, a “cruising” version of my TOP HAT launch. These boats are descended from Harry Bryan’s inspired Handy Billy design, which in turn can trace it’s origins back to William Hand's vee bottom designs from the early 20th century.

ALBATROS 36’ is a true “blue water yacht”, classic in its aspect but modern in design and construction.

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

‘Volare’ comes in two versions. This is the utility version, the console 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).

A modern iteration of Philippine double outrigger canoe. Adapting to present-day construction method, the wooden facetted hull still has the silhouette of the Austronesian “Bangka”.

MARSH HEN offers seaworthy and seakindly performance, good speeds with modest horsepower, and handsome looks. Her plywood construction is more accessible to amateur builders.

Chesapeake Light Craft’s Eastport Nesting Pram shares its hull with the popular stock Eastport Pram dinghy, a champion 7′9″ yacht tender that can carry a decent load, rows and tows with ease, and sails beautifully.

Michael P. Smith, Commander, United States Navy (retired) designed and built boats all of his life, from boats on the Clinton River in Michigan to prams and skiffs on Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island.

Cutter designed by Edward Burgess in 1887, and the inspiration for the 40′ class.The plans produce a model that is 22″ long.You’ll receive 3 pages of plans, historical information about the boat, step-by-step instructions and full-sized patterns for each lift, as well as template for you to shape
