Study Plans are available for some of these designs - remember a study plan gives you more details and a wood materials list usually on two A1 sheets, so that you can cost out a project before ordering the full plans. When you order the full construction plans you do not need to order the study plan as well, as all the study details are on the full plans.

We have 10 designs, of various different styles and types :-

POWER 4

After many requests, we have extended the simple concept of the Power 1 and 2 motor launches to a length of 32' with a beam of 10'9". At the moment, the drawings for the hull and deck construction are available allowing the client to choose or design his own superstructure and layout. (That shown above is just one possibility). Total displacement would be around 8500 lbs. allowing a fair amount of accommodation and tankage and the design will take single or double inboard/outboards.
Construction is based upon pre-shaped hull bottom, frames, transom and fore/aft girders using 38 sheets of 1/2" and 6 sheets of 1" ply. Contact us if you want prices for the design of an internal layout and superstructure to your own requirements.

NEW 32' x 10' MOTOR BARGE

This is a shortened version of the 45’ Teign Motor Barge and has the same flat bottom panel for maximum capacity and ease of construction. We have the plans for the hull construction only in, strip plank and steel—we have a fit-out sketch but no fit-out details (although we can draw these up if required).

The sketch shows a layout with aft wheelhouse (engine room under), followed by a double berth cabin, shower and wc, galley and a forward dinette and saloon (which converts into another double berth).

LOA 32’ (9.76m); Beam 10’ (3.05m); Draft 2’ (0.61m); Displ. To WL 12.5 tons (12.7 tonnes).

Fitted with more powerful drive units, she will do 20 or more knots on her semi-displacement hull. There is both inside and outside control positions, a large galley and spacious double cabin aft. In the standard layout there are berths for 5 and 2 toilet/shower units. LOD 36'; LWL 30'; Beam 12'; Draft 3'3"; Displ. 7 tons.

45' TEIGN MOTOR BARGE

Teign Barge
One of our clients wanted to match the advantages of strip planking with an easily built but attractive motor barge hull. In stead of using a slab sided hull seen on so many modern steel barges, we have been able to use the ability of strip planking to produce a hull with well curved topsides and modelled the barge on the old Teign gravel barges.
Construction simply starts by laying down the flat bottom using the shape given on the plans. The bottom is a sandwich of ply and baulk timber. On this, the frames/floors are then erected (again the shapes are given on the drawings and the hull sides are planked with 2 overlapping layers of 1" strip planks. Quickly and using fairly basic facilities and tools, a very strong hull can be made by using this method. With a length of 45' and a beam of 12' the barge has a large amount of space to fit out the interior as you wish. The arrangement that we have drawn up is for charter use and has an aft wheelhouse with crew accommodation. Forward are 3 separate cabins for 6 to 8 people along with space for 2 wc's a hip bath/shower and a saloon. LOD 45' (13.72m); Beam 12' (3.67m); Draft 2'4" (.71m); Displ. to WL 19.64 tons (19.95 tonnes.
Drawings for a plywood version of the hull are included.

NEW  36' HAWFINCH WOOD NARROWBOAT

Marlow 27

We have often been asked for a wood version of a steel narrowboat and here it is. Narrowboats were of course made from timber in the first part of the last century although then, they used heavy boards of Elm and Oak. This version uses several layers of plywood with Pine frames and framework combining the old with the new.

The drawings are for the wood hull only but we do give a basic interior layout arrangement and we can give simple ply superstructure construction details from one of our other designs.

LOD 36’ (10.95m); Beam 6’10” (2.06m); Displacement to WL 17200 lbs (7800 kg).
