Prams

This is the last of the “bevel bottom” hulls that I will design. There are four of them now, and that should be enough. With the Green River, Cedar River, Naselle River, and now the James Boat designs. Each of the hulls in the...

This hull is spin off of another hull I was working on over the winter. That hull, the Green River Drifter was a variation on my drifter hulls with a “beveled” chine panel on the lower sides, but still had a single piece bow and stern panel...

Designed for a client who wanted a simple stackable fishing dinghy which he could easily carry himself, the Doracle uses just 2 sheets of 4, 5 or 6mm ply. She may be built in 2 pieces with the forward piece stacked inside the aft section. The 2 halves...

We were asked by the Ibis Boatworks to develop a traditional punt for lake use which would have a length that would come out of 2 sheets of plywood - so we used the 20’ Cambridge Punt (page DA13) as a basis - the result is a pretty punt with a length...

The essence of this design lies in its simplicity. Contrary to my previous Coroplast boats, not a single knife cut is required to construct the hull. All features are straight line score marks and folds in the material. To hold it all together, Scotch...

The Skylark 10, for her length, is a large dinghy and quite capable of accommodating a family of 2 adults and 3 children comfortably. Several 10's have been built by clients who have a spare rig (Mirror etc) and who want a simple and easily built hull...

The design for the Surf 8 started with the need for a small dinghy that would have pretensions to be a small multi role dayboat - an excellent sailing craft, motor boat and still be easily car toppable. Taking the Skylark...

The 14ft Nuthatch Pram Thank you for choosing to build the 14 foot Nuthatch Pram. After designing and building the 8ft Nuthatch Pram and designing the 12ft Nuthatch Pram, I thought that a larger version of the hull would be a good fit in my series of...

The ULTRA-PRAM, was conceived by Roland Moose of North Carolina. He wanted a portable yet robust boat for daily fishing trips - one that was stable and had plenty of room for his fishing gear. So, Roland Moose of North Carolina contacted me and asked...

I have often been asked whether we had a traditional Thames or Oxbridge type punt in our design catalogue - now and American client has asked us to draw up a 20' (6.01m) example for simple stitch and tape construction. She has a beam of 3'10" (1.17m)...
