Austral’s design is an outgrowth of my 26' Wynfall design, intended to provide additional space below decks, including standing headroom. She is slightly heavier, longer and wider, and has more freeboard than her smaller sister.
A versatile half-canopy launch, offering many internal layout options. She is especially suited for employment as a personnel launch or commercial fisherman/crabber; or maybe just a family launch.
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.
Full-sized patterns for molds, so lofting is not required. Construction: Carvel-planked over steamed frames. Alternative construction: Lapstrake or strip. Plans include 4 sheets.
The North Sea 29 is a centerboard boat designed for sailing in the rough North Sea. She’s a fairly heavy displacement boat that will prove a very capable ocean cruiser.
The Shearwater Hybrid combines the best qualities of stitch-and-glue plywood kayaks with the beauty of a cedar strip deck.
The latest in Bill Garden’s idea of the perfect kid’s cruising boat. Simple enough to be put together in the garage, salty enough to daydream on, and safe enough as well. She’s quite a handsome double-ender, with a fixed keel. This is an “oh my” boat.Construction: Plywood planking over sawn frame
The GulfStream 28 is a moderate vee, relatively narrow boat (beam/length ratio of 3.4) designed to satisfy a program in which economy and seaworthiness were top priorities.
