Kahuna is a superb coastal and long-distance cruising boat, designed for modern wood/epoxy construction. The first boat was built in Australia, and several have been launched in the US. Others are under construction — in the US (New York) and in Europe (Italy, the UK and Russia).
Wynfall is a small but capable cruising boat -- although only 26' long, she has a waterline of almost 24', and displaces 9500 lbs.
A 35' centerboard cruising boat designed for long-distance cruising and living aboard. Simplicity’s raised deck and 11’ beam result in a spacious interior, with standing headroom throughout. Construction is plywood over plywood bulkheads and frames.
The Olga 28 is a trailerable power cruiser constructed with plywood and epoxy. The design was inspired by the classic power boats of the Pacific Northwest, while her construction takes advantage of modern materials to produce a lightweight, easily maintained boat.
MASH is a design I created for Woodenboat Magazine’s Sketchbook article, issue 275, July/August 2020. She is a 24ft power cruiser with a cuddy cabin designed in the lobsterboat style.

This is the “Sea Rover” from the Science and Mechanics Boat Builder Handbook (circa 1958). This was built over the past 2 years. It is plywood over oak frames. I had actually built the 15′ version of this boat when I was 13 years old.
