OUR DAYBOAT DESIGNS & PLANS
(INCLUDING OUR SMALL CATAMARANS)

All our dayboats are commissions from clients with specific requirements in mind - you should find one to suit your requirements - but we are always making alterations for our clients - new sail plans, new layouts and keel arrangements etc.

Many of the designs use the stitch and tape method of construction but others use strip plank and some have both - remember, we can change from one method to the other.

PLEASE ALSO NOTE - where a dayboat finishes and a pocket cruiser/trailer sailer begins is a difficult point to define - so do also look at our Pocket Cruisers/Trailer Sailer page where you may find other craft of interest.
