9 foot wooden catamaran

Kingston 15, A personal weekender for 2.

This is my latest design for the Twopointfour metre class. An easy to build lowbudget boat ment to be competetive on the race course.

With a length of 6′-6″ (2m) “Dingo” is our shortest boat weighing only 28lb (13kg). Easy to car top, easy to take to the water and back, easy to launch from the mothership without breaking your back. With a beam of 4′ (1.20m) the boat is stable enough to stand up in.

Glued-lap plywood rowing or sailing tender with plenty of capacity.

Construction: Glued lapstrake plywood.

No lofting required.

Plans include 8 sheets.

The Selkie takes two of our most popular boats (The Arctic Tern 14 and the Murrelet) and marries them into one elegant, light weight boat that petite women, or those looking for a tight fitting play boat, will love.

In the spring of 2013, I started to write a book called, How to Design a Boat using SketchUp 3D Software. The subject matter was my design, ‘Kalostyn’.

This runabout reveals the influence of Zimmer’s association with John Hacker, and will require expert boatbuilders.Construction: Batten-seam planking over sawn frames.Lofting is required.Plans include 4 sheets.

If you enjoy rowing and need a boat which can be built quickly, doesn’t cost much, and is easy for transportation and storage then this tiny vessel might be for you. “Mighty Mouse” is the adult version of our one sheet mini punt “Mickey Mouse”.

The Duo is a simple to build 3m (10ft) hard chine rowing and sailing dinghy that can be built from just two sheets of 4mm (3/16in) plywood. It is also available as a nesting dinghy, so it can be stored on a cabin roof or even in the back of a car.
