Some are well proven existing designs that we will adapt to amateur boat building, others are new projects. Visit the wish list section at our message board. If there are sufficient requests for a certain type of plan, we will design a boat or find a suitable plan. The plans specify the exact type of plywood that is required. Most of our small boats can be built from inexpensive Lauan plywood.
Larger boats require at least exterior plywood.
You can also use a very inexpensive type of marine plywood named Boat Building Plywood, an APA classification. We give suppliers names in our BOM's. You can always use marine plywood but it is an option, See our web pages about plywood in the tutorials section for a detailed discussion. You must use fiberglass and resin, something you can learn in one hour with our trial kit . For all small boats, we also supply paper patterns.
