One day I decided I need a sculling training boat that is not of fishing boat style, but rather of Olympic style. With a sliding seat, and probably outriggers too.

Swamp Thing looks fairly sleek in some ways, but has low freeboard and holds only one person. We wanted to be able to go rowing together, but we also wanted to be able to pick the boats up and put them in the back of a small truck. That meant we each needed our own boat.
A cross between a fast rowing shell and a weekend family boat, this nimble craft is built from thin plywood bonded and sealed with epoxy. No metal fasteners are used.
The Micro Folding Dinghy is based on one of Matt Layden is early folding dinghies; however it incorporates some of Matts ideas as well as a few of our own to create a cheap and sturdy boat. The Micro Folding Dinghy is best suited to smaller people or for children, but it can be enlarged to fit larger folks...

Flying Mouse is an exercise to develop just about the smallest, cheapest possible sailing boat I can conceive. As a result, its not a boat to which you can safely trust your life in any sort of waves - as anyone who climbs into a Flying Mouse will quickly figure out.

The Little Sister Eco design is basically just like any 18 ft x 4 ft (5.5 m x 1.2 m) banks type dory.
38 mph, $38 to build and 38 hours to build. Price does not account for inflation :-)
I found the frame drawings of this dinghy in a book published in 1957, thatâs why Dinghy -57 inches. This is an adaptation of those drawings to stich and glue construction.

I think this boat could be quite something - a fast 14ft one-man rower that comes out of two sheets of ply. Designed for flat water, you will notice that in order to reduce the fuss at the waterline to a minimum, I have worked the waterline at the design displacement so that it just kisses the chine.
This runabout is designed for speedy transportation over protected waters.
A 21 foot cabin cruiser. Be patient when downloading, images at the site are large.

A boat made of just a single standard sheet of plywood.
A 14-1/2 foot runabout.
A super speedster.
A speedy 13 ft runabout.
A sailboard rig is going to be a winner on looks and also efficiency, but everything else about this boat has got to look cool and be efficient too - in order to match that sail in the kids minds, even the daggerboard and rudder have got to have a little something about them. It also has to be a sit-on boat rather than a sit-in one. The basic dimensions close I have chosen are close to those of a couple of plastic mass-produced designs aimed at the young and intended for the same sort of purpose as here.
