A lovely little skiff made from four sheets of 1/4’’ plywood using simple stitch and tape techniques. She has a fine entry for moving quickly and easily under electric outboard power (a conventional petrol outboard may also be used) with...

We have often been asked for a wood version of a steel narrowboat and here it is. Narrowboats were of course made from timber in the first part of the last century although then, they used heavy boards of Elm and Oak. This version uses several layers...

Having put the lines of an original 25’ LIFU launch into our computer system we have used this shape in the development of this 26’ Edwardian Launch. The LIFU launches were very successful and were known for their good sea keeping qualities...

Soon after our Power 2.2 left the drawing board, we were asked to extend it and produce a design which, in a compact form, could accommodate a large aft cabin with a central wheelhouse and forward dinette. So the beam has been increased to...

The Cegall has been designed for Chippendale Craft and is very much based upon the 14' Kingfisher design. The method of construction is just the same with a pre-shaped ply centre girder forming the centreboard case and stem - this is epoxied to the...

A 14' version of our most popular canoe design - the 15' 8" Fisher Prospector. Over the years, the 15'8" Prospector has been cut down by those wanting a shorter version simply by cutting a piece out of the middle - this works but is not ideal and so I...

Pete Greenfield, Editor of the Watercraft Magazine asked me to design this launch and is going to partly finance it by giving up smoking, hence the name Golden Virginia ! She is strip planked and is fitted out with settee berths and simple basic wc and...

The DART 22 uses a similar section to that of the Dart 16. This consists of a tortured ply ‘U’ shape which changes fore and aft into a full ‘V’ giving adequate buoyancy and a good entry at the fore foot. Above the shaped bottom there is a soft...

This sturdy craft has been designed for a client in Scotland who wanted a rugged general purpose boat for fishing and diving in rough water. She may only be 14’ long, but she is for all that, a large boat and she incorporates both integral buoyancy...

The drawings for this 36' motor yacht consist of lines, offsets, layout and profile details. Construction drawings and details can be furnished to the client to suit whatever method of build he requires. For the discerning motor yachtsman wanting a...

Several years ago I was asked by PJS Boats to draw up a modified Highlander 16 dayboat with a real seagoing jaunty sheer and plenty of stability to take a powerful rig. The Westray 16 was born and later they asked me to design a smaller dinghy in...

This was a commission just for the computer generated and faired mould shapes and building jig details for a 24' x 8'6" motor yacht of traditional appearance. The concept is to have a forward cabin with 2 berths plus wc and galley and either a short...
