The traditional yawlboat is a hard-working boat, carried on the stern davits of a larger working vessel. They have sweet shapes to be easily driven and as was befitting the pride of workmanship that went into their construction.This latter day version is much lighter and smaller in size.

The F1830 is the newest BYD design and the tandem version of the F1430 Sit On Top kayak. It is a second generation boat, with an optimized hull and simplified kit. This boat will easily carry 2 adults and a big cooler, or 2 adults and a couple of small kids.

A series of Catamaran Houseboats/canal boats has been designed with electric propulsion.
