The DRAKE 13 fits snuggly between the 11 and 18 footers and offers a lighweight and roomy dinghy/dayboat for family sailing. She can be built with or without the centreboard and rig to offer a simple rowing boat that can be used as a utility tender for...

The CAT 25 was designed to fit the Micro Multihull racing class as it was originally conceived. A set of plans is available to upgrade the standard design to fit the existing rules. Construction is similar to that of the CAT 19. Both boats incorporate...

A 20' Beaver sterned electric launch - for simplified plywood construction using pre-shaped ply fore and aft girders and frames which slot together to give the basic shape accurately. 20' Pup...

The 14’ 6” Esk is a development of our Dart design. We have swept the bow up and flared out the forward sections to help her in choppy waters—aft, we have given her a knife edge to the rear sections to give her good directional stability. She has...

This is a fairly narrow launch (4'7" beam) for light weight fit-out. Her hull has hard bilges giving maximum stability for her beam making her a fine river or lake launch. At 1’9” (0.52m), the draft has been kept to a minimum to make trailing easy...

This is a design commissioned by someone who built one of our clinker ply Kane Suffolk Beach Punts and who wanted a safe, comfortable deep water cruising yacht which could also find it's way up relatively shallow creeks. For her length, she is to my...

The Simplicity 8 Classic is modified version of the original Simplicity 8 which was designed for simple stitch and tape construction. In this case, the drawings for the Classic version show details for her to be built using the ply over frame method. A...
