Doug Hylan’s expertise with both original designs and the development of plans from existing craft (often historically significant) can bring your ideas to life. Whether you are dreaming of a new design to your own specifications, or a modification of an existing design, please feel free to email Ellery at ellery@dhylanboats.com or call 207.359.9807 to share what you have in mind!
