Here is a partial list of our Boat Plans. We have sold over 2000 sets of plans, mostly to amateur builders. Please see our Frequently Asked Questions page for information about ordering plans, types of construction, shipping costs, and answers to many other questions. Our Facebook page also has a Builders’ Gallery of photos of just some of the many boats built to our designs.
