The plans have recently been updated and adapted to the relatively easy modern building method of “stitch & tape”. (Brief details of this method are on our website). The building instructions are easy to read and illustrated taking you through the build process in easy step by step stages. A list of tools you will need and a basic materials list are included. Plus, to help you further, plans for a practice project, a glossary of boat building terms, a suppliers list and email support when you start if you have any problems understanding the plans or problems with the build.  

Building a boat is a very enjoyable project giving you something to go pottering about with on your local water, fishing, rowing to keep fit, motoring off to a secluded picnic site or sailing. All you need is a little time, patience and attention to detail. 

These plans make for the ideal project as a first boat building attempt, as a second building project or as a gift for the person who has always said they want to build a boat.

If you have some DIY experience or are good with your hands, you too could build your own dinghy. They are not too difficult and the materials required are easily found locally or by mail order often with next day delivery. Details of where to find all the materials are in the plans along with a list of suppliers we have used.

This is one of the most compact and informative plans packages available from a business with over 30 years experience in boat building and over 20 years experience designing, building and producing kits.

 If you have any questions about the plans or build before you buy please contact us. See "Business Seller Information" at bottom of page for details or use the ebay system.

Please Note before you buy - This listing is for the DIY Plans Only as detailed above. 

These are original plans and not in the normal format some might expect. We use a simple (as possible) modern method to build these boats using modern and widely available materials.

We offer full after sales email/text/phone help 7 days a week to advise you on any aspect of the plans or the build to help you through your project.
