|
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
16’x5’6’’
ply motor launch of ultra simple construction using pre-shaped ply hull panels,
frames and transom. The chine joints are completed with epoxy resin fillets and
tape making construction quick. A weekend’s work will see the hull panels
marked out, cut, stitched together, frames and transom in place and all seams
epoxied. She uses 4 sheets of 6mm and 3 sheets of 12mm ply in her basic
construction (hull, seats etc). Approximately 250 lbs lightweight depending on how you fit her out. A 20 hp outboard will give a speed of around 25 mph. She can be fitted out to your own requirements. She was originally designed for Scottish waters where she has been very successful. |

|
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
 |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The
Power 1.2 is a development of our Power 1 design. She has increased beam and the
chine has been lowered to give a more stable shape so that her side decks can be
used comfortably. The drawings give details for a cabin arrangement with 2 full
length berths and plenty of stowage for cooking gear. The aft end has been kept
as a parallel section so that increasing or decreasing her length is quite
simple and she can be fitted out to suit your own requirements (we will be happy
to advise and draw up details of any particular changes to the arrangement shown
on the drawings). Construction is quick and simple and she can take outboards up
to 50 hp. LOA 16'1" (4.9m); Beam 6'5" (1.96m); Construction weight 400
lb. (183 kg) - open version; 680 lb.(310 kg) - cabin version. A wheelhouse
arrangement is also included - see Photo Gallery page for photos of an
extended version of the Power 1.2 with standing headroom and 5 berths.
Also note that an additional drawing has been added to the plans so that the hull can be made using the ply over frame method. See Alex Vulcan's blog at httpss://sites.google.com/site/power12wulkie/ |

| POWER 14 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The
hull for this launch was originally based on our Power 16 model but instead of
going for a simple flat bottom panel, we have used a 'V' bottom shape. Whilst
this makes construction time a little longer it gives a slightly better ride in
choppy conditions. The plans give details for both simple stitch and tape and
ply on frame construction. She has a large open cockpit with plenty of locker space. Forward is an optional cuddy. 11 sheets of 6mm ply plus a further sheet of 9mm are used for the hull construction and 2 sheets of 6mm ply are used for the optional cuddy. LOA 14'6" (4.42m); Beam 5'6" (1.67m); Approx wht. 375 lbs (170 kg); for the open version and 475 lbs (215 kg) for the cuddy version. |

| 8' SKIFFLE JUNIOR MOTOR BOAT | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The 8' Skiffle is a simple motor boat designed for children to use although she can accommodate a small adult. The hull uses a flat bottom panel with single bilge and side panels and uses simple stitch & tape methods in her construction. She can take outboard motors of around 5 to 7hp - she could take more powerful motors but 7hp is a safe limit. Construction takes just 4 sheets of 6mm plywood. LOA 7'5" (2.26m); Beam 4'1" (6.35m). |

| 12' SAND MARTIN SIMPLE RUNABOUT | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Using between 5 and 6 sheets of 6mm ply the Sand Martin uses simple stitch and tape technology in her construction. She can be fitted out in a number of different ways but the standard arrangement shows two thwarts with side benches aft and a foredeck with stowage space below. Weight will be approx. 120 lbs (54kg) and she can take outboard engines between 2 and 15 hp. With a beam of 4'11" (1.49m), she has plenty of room for fishing and is a very stable craft. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The example below was built by Kevin Ansell using sheets of grp in much the same way as a stitch and tape ply hull would be built. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 9'6" LITTLE HARRIER MOTOR DORY | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
This is a smaller sister to the 13’ Harrier—she has the same simple ‘V’ bottomed hull shape which has plenty of stability and room in such a short length for fishing and pic-nicking. Under the seats can be used for flotation and/or stowage and she can take outboards up to 20hp. She is car-toppable
and uses 5 sheets of 6mm ply. LOA 9’6” (2.90m); Beam 4’7” (1.40m);
Approx. Wht. 85lbs (39kg). |

|
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Harrier is a simple single chined 'V' bottomed stitch and tape ply dory for outboard power. She has been designed to give as much carrying capacity as possible in a 13' car-toppable boat making her suitable for fishing and picnicking as well as for use as a tender to a motor yacht. The hull can be fitted out to suit - the standard arrangement shown on the plans has aft and centre seats plus a foredeck/seat - she could take a small cuddy. Construction uses 7 sheets of 6mm ply. LOA 13' (3.97m); Beam 5'3" (1.6m); Approx Wht. 145 lbs (66 kg). | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| SHETLAND 14 WORKBOAT | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
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 tanks and a water ballast tank. There is plenty of seating plus an outboard well and she may be fitted out with an inboard engine. The standard construction plans have all the hull panel and frame shapes for steel construction but she can of course, be made from plywood using stitch and epoxy methods. LOA 14’3’’ (4.34m); Beam 6’ (1.83m); Draft 8’’ (0.2m); Approx. weight 350 lbs. Note, drawings specifically for plywood construction have recently been added to the plan set. |

| 15' ELECTRIC SKIFF | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 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 a stern wide enough to take someone sitting comfortably without upsetting the trim of the boat too much. 14’7’’ x 3’9’’ and approx 75 lbs., she is ideal for car topping to remote canals and rivers for some quiet fishing. She may be adapted with a trolley for wheeling around locks or will take an outboard well if preferred. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

|
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
This
is a simple and very easily built motor dory for use with outboards up to around
50 hp in size. She can either be made by wrapping the pre-shaped sides around
the frames, fastening on an external chine stringer and then putting the bottom
ply on oversize, or, by simple stitch and epoxy methods using pre-shaped ply
bottom and side panels which are given on the drawing. She can be fitted out very much to suit your own requirements and she could take a cuddy or small cabin. She uses 7 sheets of 9mm ply and has a length of 15’ and beam of 5’6’’. |

| 16' CURLEW MOTOR PUNT | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
This
is a very simple stitch and tape design using 5 sheets of 9mm (3/8’’) ply
with pre-shaped hull panels and transoms. With a beam of 4’6’’ and a mid
depth of 16’’ she has plenty of room for fishing, camping or for family
pic-nics. She may be rowed but is primarily designed to be powered by an outboard of between 2 and 20 h.p. The design is very adaptable and she could easily be fitted out with a cuddy or sailing rig. Curlew may also be made in two halves for easy transport. Details are also given for a deeper version. |

| 16' GERIATRIC MOTOR SAILOR (16' CURLEW MOTOR PUNT ADAPTATION) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This is an additional set of sketches, drawings and notes allowing the builder to construct a larger version of the Curlew adapted to be a motor sailor - the mark 2 Curlew hull with it's double chine was remodeled with a beam (to inside of plank) of 7'6" (2.28m) and an increase of hull depth by 8" (200mm) allowing a cabin with sitting headroom and a self draining cockpit. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Because the client
who asked me for these sketches had already built other plywood boats,
he did not need construction details, some of which are on the standard
Curlew plans and only needed a series of dimensioned sketches to follow.
The project was called the 'Geriatric Motor Sailor' because the additional beam (and stability) plus the bow ramp and steel bilge keels (allowing her to dry out upright) make her an ideal boat for comfortable sailing for those a little more advanced in years. There is a forward cockpit/well with the centre part of the forward transom hinged down to form a boarding ladder. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| To build her, you
will need the standard Curlew Motor Punt plans (just above this
description) plus the two A1 drawings that define the Mark 3 hull shape
plus the seven A4 sketches - if the builder requires more construction
details, these can be provided from a similar sized design. The seven sketches include: Overall construction sketch; Deck Construction sketch Bow Well & Hinged Boarding Ladder sketch 2 x Frame sketches Outboard Motor Mount sketch Steel Bilge keels & Rudder sketch Sail/Spar Plan sketch. |

| 16' CAPE COD SEMI DORY | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Cape Cod is a motor dory based upon the Swampscott model with it's flat but rockered bottom panel and 4 planks per side. Unlike the sailing Swampscott, the bottom is kept fairly wide aft so that she can take a reasonable size of outboard (up to 35 hp). The plans show details for both the simple stitch and tape and clinker ply methods of construction and the standard fit-out shows a foredeck plus narrow side decks and storage both fore and aft. She could be fitted out with a cuddy or small cabin etc. LOA 16' (4.88m); Beam 6' (1.83m); Approx. wht. depending on fit-out 300 lbs (136 kg). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

 |
This
design has been based upon our Northumbrian Coble designs—the client
wanted a very stable seaworthy design mainly for outboard power but
which could also be rowed and take a sail plan. Basic construction is
for stitch and tape but the moulds/jig details are given for clinker/ply
construction. The standard fit-out has a central bench seat/oar locker
and she can take at least 6 adults.
LOA 15’4” (4.68m); Beam 5’2” (1.58m); Depth Amidships 1’8” (0.51m); Approx. wht 250 lbs (113kg).

| 15' LOBSTER BOAT | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| This
motorboat is based on a typical Maine Lobster boat and has been designed
for strip plank construction (although she could be built using
clinker/ply techniques using the same moulds). The hull has a high
freeboard with flat planing sections aft and tumblehome worked into the
hull aft.
She is essentially an open boat with a narrow side decking and bench seating with stowage under, however, she could be fitted out in a number of ways and could take a small cuddy/fore cabin. The plans now also include details for an alternative layout with foredeck (below). |

The
Port Pegasus is a clinker boat which may be used as a pure rowing boat
or fitted with a small diesel (ie Farymann 7.5) as a small motor launch
with classic appearance. As
a general purpose launch, she could be fitted out in a variety of
different ways—ie. With a small cuddy, centre console arrangement or
even with an appropriate sail/keel plan. The drawings give the computer
faired mould shapes and building jig details for modern clinker
construction—framing incorporates the plywood bulkheads etc. Mid hull

| 16' WHOOPING SWAN | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The Whooping Swan is a development of the 16' Grey Swan pocket cruiser - a client asked me to alter the hull so that it would take an outboard with a wheelhouse - in doing this we have added buoyancy to the aft end and made the transom more vertical to take an outboard. Headroom in the wheelhouse is around 5’11! (1.80m) and a 5 hp outboard would move her along nicely. At first, the plans were in addition to the standard Grey Swan plans which meant that you needed the original Grey Swan plans to get all the details to construct the boat. However, I have now added further plans so that it is now a design in it's own right. Construction
is for stitch and tape although details are also given for simple chine
stringers so the hull can be built using the ply over frame
method.

| 12' TAW | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The 12'Taw is a simple 'V' bottomed plywood runabout for two people. Construction starts with the plywood frames/bulkheads being slotted onto a plywood central girder and the transom fitted. Bottom stringers are added to stiffen the bottom area of the hull and then the hull panels are marked and cut out and fitted before the chine seams are epoxied and glassed. Decking can be simple plywood or ply overlaid with hardwood strips to give a 'laid' deck effect. She will take outboards up to around 35hp. |

|
The 15' Sand Martin is a simple 'V' bottomed plywood runabout/fishing boat that will comfortably take three or four people and more if required. Construction is stitch and tape using 6mm plywood. The 15' Sand Martin may be fitted out to suit the builder's own requirements - the standard plan has a large aft locker with side decks but she can be built without the locker making her a simple open boat. There is also a stowage area under the foredeck. Further seating can also be fitted. She would normally use a 3-10hp outboard but can take outboards up to around 35hp. |

|
The 12' Severn fishing skiff is a roomy boat for her length and could be adapted and fitted out in a number of different ways by the builder. With her parallel aft sections she can be shortened/lengthened easily to suit the builder's requirements. The hull may be built using the simple stitch and tape technique with a minimum of framing or she can be built using the same ply hull planks used for stitch and tape but with the planks 'draped' over a slotted framework of centre girder, frames and transom with the plank seams finished using the stitch and tape technique. A sole can also be fitted with the void space under filled with foam as floatation. She would normally use a 5-10hp outboard but could take more up to around 15hp.. |
