A leisurely craft from the Edwardian and Victorian eras - days of elegance on the Thames with parasols and wine! we were commissioned to design such a canoe, to be powered by a Gebofa electric 1.6 hp sail drive unit and constructed using modern clinker...

For working the East Coast, exploring shallow estuaries and for the occasional hop across to the continent, maybe through the French canals to the Med, this 30' sharpie combines very easy and cheap construction with a simple and efficient rig and room...

This 26' version of the Golden Bay has the same fairly high and flaired bow sections designed to throw off spray which flow into aft sections which have tumblehome giving her a generous waterline beam for maximum stability. These drawings show her with a...

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 Hazelnut has been designed for those who want a similar hull shape to the Peterborough model but without the turned up ends. This gives a flatter sheer line more like a guide boat—she retains the 5 plank per side shape with tumblehome for ease in...

The Skellig 26 is a wood version of the Saltee Island. She has the same rugged hull design for use as a workboat/fishing boat for coastal and offshore use. She has a large cockpit and enclosed wheelhouse with space below for a simple wc and/or galley...

The Skellig 19 is based on our Skellig 18 workboat/fishing boat. In this case the client wanted a slightly bigger boat made of steel to be used as a strong and rugged work/fishing boat in Irish waters. The hull plating is 3mm over 4x75mm frames...

The 16' Bourne runabout is partly based on the Egret but with a forward raking transom and a fair amount of tumblehome in the aft quarters. She uses the same ply skin over a slotted together ply framework but the tumblehome area is planked using diagonal...

Our 15' 8" Fisher Prospector is our most popular canoe design (go to Open Canoes 15'-17'). This new version has been requested by a client who wanted a similar canoe, slightly shorter and with 7 planks per side rather than the 5 of the original design...

22’x 6’8’’x 4’6’’, approx. 1200 lbs. weight. Multichine ply construction over pre-shaped ply frames, bottom hull panel and centre girder. Designed as a replacement for the older One design dayboat racing classes...

This is a strip planked version of our plywood motor canoes—because she is strip planked over computer generated moulds, the spacing between the moulds can be altered to give any length between 12’ and 16’. Apart from using an outboard motor...

By popular request, we have shortened the Raven to give a canoe easier to car-top on smaller vehicles. She can take 2 adults plus camping gear and uses the same simple stitch and tape construction process. The hull has the Raven family’s 3 panels per...
