Other Dayboats

Fred Rebell (1886-1968) was a lone sailor and adventurer - he fled from Latvia to Germany to avoid conscription, stowed away on a Sydney-bound ship and after marrying/divorcing and working in Australia, tried to emigrate to the US but was refused a visa...

This craft takes it's heritage from quite a number of traditional fishing craft used around the South West and French coasts for pilchard and mackerel driving. These boats had quite a number of subtle variations on the lug rig and in this case we have...

Based on our Safe Harbour design which was based on the Dark Harbor 12 designed by B.B. Crowninshield in the early part of the 20th Century, this design has been made beamier so that she can carry less ballast and use a steel centreplate.   She...

Based on the traditional Cornish Pilot Gig this updated version has had it's beam increased from the usual 5' (1.525m) to 6'9" (2.05m) to accommodate an inboard diesel engine and a bigger rig. These gigs were used for general service, salvage and...

The Bittern design started life when our client bought an old and rotting daysailer which he intended to restore - however, he realised that starting from scratch would be easier and give him a brand new boat which, with modern strip plank construction,...

The Ant is similar in size to our Bungay but represents another variation of the type of delightful dayboat found on the Norfolk Broads. She has a simple high peak balanced lug rig - this shape of sail allows the use of stays which in turns means that...

We have the computer faired mould, inner stem and transom shape for an open boat based upon a 16’ x 6’ Lightship’s Lifeboat—a sturdy little seaboat which could take 12 men and carry a simple lug rig—they were clinker built but could be strip...

This is a curvaceous and neat example of the traditional American catboat. She has been designed to give maximum usability and space in a 16' long package. There is plenty of room for storage and to fit the batteries for an electric drive pod. The...

We have the computer generated mould shapes and building jig details (only) for a 22'x7'2" (6.71x2.18m) Yankee Skiff for rowing or motor power. Could be strip planked or completed in clinker ply. These skiffs have a narrow flat bottom plank and a shapely...

The Swift 6 metre dayboat was commissioned by Mr. P. Roberts who wanted an easily built boat similar in line to some of the French dayboats. In fact, she is also similar to boats of the Gareloch and Loch Long classes raced on the Clyde. The drawings...

21'8" x 6' x 3' (mid-depth) Drontheim Yawl for the Causeway Coast Kayak Assoc. - this is a traditional Irish open yawl and we have been asked to model her on the computer and develop the 9 hull planks for stitch and tape construction plus frame shapes...

The Kite was conceived as a fast and seaworthy dayboat capable of taking a family comfortably on extended coastal camping treks or to provide them with some exciting day-sailing in estuary waters. In designing the hull, we have kept in mind a multi-role...
