This site is currently under construction, however we are providing a few views of some of the yachts we offer. Tot Yacht Enterprises builds each dory, skiff, and sailing sharpie using full-size wooden boat construction techniques. Each boat is warranted to last generations of use and abuse by young skippers and their shipmates. Each boat is built by hand over strongback and molds, exactly as full-sized wooden boats are built today. Plywood sides, bottoms, and transoms are epoxy-glued and screw fastened.
Thwarts are solid pine, beveled to fit and epoxied into place.
Each boat receives one coat of primer and at least two coats of nontoxic high-gloss all weather finish. Tot Yacht designs are based on traditional New England water craft, scaled down to two inches to the foot. The skiff and sailboat are patterned after the Westport River Skiff and her sailing cousin the Westport River Sharpie, both popular recreational boats in the early 1900's. Please, however, exercise supervision of your young ones anytime they are around water. We are tot yachts makers of small hand crafted boats which make great gifts for children as long as they have adult supervision.
