Philosophy

Market Driven
Designing boats with the features that builders want is what we do best. Those designs are supported with outstanding customer service.

Privacy and Security

Our orders are processed over a secure server, held in que until it is verified, and then finally released. The end result is a safe and secure transaction that protects your information at all times. We NEVER sell, share, or distribute in any way your private/financial information.

Legal Stuff:

Like all other boats plans, our designs should not be considered lifesaving devices for all situations. Like all other recreational watercraft of any material, if used improperly, serious injury or even death could be the result. The risk belongs to the builder to build the boat properly. It is the responsibility of all those who use our designs on the water to acquire the needed skills for safe recreational use.

Now that we've covered our backside, let's just put it in these words: Be smart, wear your PFD, use good judgment, and have fun!

About our designs:

Our designs are developed using 3D modeling software called Rhino3D. Rhino3D is used in conjunction with AutoCAD, some pretty hefty spreadsheets, our engineering background, and common sense from our boat building experience.

Once the basic shape is established, we conduct analysis to meet the criteria of safety, performance, ease-of-construction, and beauty.

Safety is never compromised. Enough said.

Performance is adjusted according to the intended use of each deign.

Ease-of-assembly: We conduct Surface Curvature Analysis to ensure our twists and bends are well within the ability of common plywood. This also ensures the design can be easily built by and amateur builder using the Stitch and Glue method. Visit our forum to see a tutorial about Stitch and Glue building.

Beauty: Some prefer elegant designs while other believe solid performance is what produces a beautiful boat. In either case, beauty will be ensured by smooth lines that form curves naturally. We analyze each and every line to ensure flowing lines that produce performance and appearance.
