OUR STEAM & ELECTRIC LAUNCH
DESIGNS & PLANS

We now have over 17 designs (plus 4 design alterations which lengthen/alter some of the standard designs) in our Steam & Electric Launch Catalogue with more on the way. They are all (like most of our designs) commissions from clients with specific requirements in mind - you should be able to find one in our catalogue which closely meets your requirements - but if not, our YachtCAD system is able to quickly make modifications (change style, dimensions, number of planks etc, etc). Our launches range from 13' to 50' in length and our YachtCAD system enables us to change major hull parameters quickly.

Please note that whilst each launch/canoe was designed for a particular mode of propulsion, most of the designs can take steam or electric or internal combustion modes of power.

The launches are built using both the stitch and tape (tack and tape) method and/or the Cedar strip plank method - see the links at the bottom of the Navigation Frame (to the left) for more details and examples of these methods of construction.

NOTE - for UK and EU customers, from 04/01/11 the UK/EU prices include VAT at 20%.

Models

We are often asked if we can sell details to model makers of our steam launch designs - we can do this and offer plan sets at a much reduced cost by removing some of the detailed drawings from a plan set. If you wish to make a model of one of our designs, contact us to discuss the cost of a set of plans.
