OUR
STEAM & ELECTRIC LAUNCH
DESIGNS & PLANS
(last up-dated 30/12/07)
 |
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.

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. |

CATALOGUE OF STEAM & ELECTRIC LAUNCH DESIGNS
For
the Steam Boat fraternity especially, we have separated out our launch designs
which have been specifically designed for external combustion engines and
electric power - so, this is an A4 sized catalogue with 14 pages describing with
drawings and photos our 24 Steam & Electric Launch designs..
These designs range in size from our smallest 13' launch - the Felix design, to the Edwardian 50' design. Most are for construction using the Strip Plank Construction technique although some use ply over frame construction - do remember that we can convert a design from one method of construction to another.
Design styles range from plumb stemed/counter stern type to the traditional schooner bowed/counter sterned type - others have beautiful "wineglass" shaped transom sterns with the plumb stem/rounded forefoot similar to the Dixon Kemp style or the fuller lines of the LIFU type.
Sterling cost £3 + £0.50 P&P in
the UK- (Europe Airmail is £1, Elsewhere Airmail is £3). US Dollar cost is $10
incl. Airmail.
