  The Sandolo is a traditional flat bottomed rowing boat used in Venice and the Venetian Lagoon and unlike the Gondola is, like most craft, symmetrical about it's centerline. In fact it is of a simple flat bottomed, single chine shape with...

The Clyde 18 is a modified Power 1.3 Mk 1 design. The hull shape is a simple deadrise type, single chine 'V' bottomed. The hull is parallel sectioned aft of the wheelhouse which means that she can be easily lengthened or shortened. Construction is for...

This new design is based on the Mark 1 single chine version of the Rhum 11'6" general purpose dinghy. The original Rhum has been extended by 12" which gives more space for her to be fitted out as a proper camping dinghy with space for a sleeping area and...

Oarsome Chance came to me for the design of a 24' Coastal Rowing Skiff which could be more easily used as a multi-role boat and which was safer for use offshore. Instead of a double ended design, often used for this role, we went for a transomed design...

The Kari 24' is based on the Kari 2 which, itself, was based on the lines taken off the original Kari Faering. In the case of this new 24' design the client wanted a rounder hull with slightly harder bilges and so we modeled a 6 plank per side design...

This design is a modern interpretation of the traditional Koa fishing canoes which were 'dugouts' and made from a single log. The hull has a narrow flat bottom with 4 planks per side - the top hull panel has some tumblehome in it to emulate the log shape...

This design is based on a double ended version of our 12' 4" Petite Brise Swampscott dinghy. Swampscotts as a breed usually have a narrow 'tombstone' transom making them more or less double ended (semi Swampscott dorys have a wider transom) - when...

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...

Based on our 14' Raven which is one of our most popular canoe designs, this asymmetric version is for single long distance use with plenty of capacity to carry camping gear and provisions. The asymmetric hull shape will make her excellent at tracking,...
