• Penny 25 Modification - A revision of this popular design with a pilot house, improved interior, and a different style of Chinese rig than we usually do.

• Alerion -  We produced modern wood and epoxy construction drawings for one time use for this 26' Herreshoff design in cooperation with the MIT Museum.  We would love to complete a full set of plans for a client should anyone be interested.
• Blue Horizons 30 - A Chinese rigged twin keel liveaboard and voyaging yacht featuring a wheelhouse and solar charged electric auxiliary propulsion
• Ha' Penny 20 - A modest full time liveaboard voyaging yacht for one person.  This is the latest in our Coin Collection series.
• The above are our current design projects in the size range most people choose for family yachts.  In addition to these we usually have one or more larger projects as well generally in the 90' to 150' range.  These may be "yachts" which are often really for business use, charter vessels, or passenger carrying vessels.  In addition we often have various commercial small craft as well.
