One of our recent electric boat projects got some nice press in the January/February issue (#198) of Maine Boats, Homes & Harbors magazine. SEIWA is a solar-electric cruiser with simple but comfortable accommodations and impressive range. Read more about it here.
GATSBY II

In 2018 we designed and built GATSBY for a family with a new summer home in Rockport Maine. Since then, they have loved her dearly and used her extensively for picnics and day trips around Penobscot Bay. As they discovered all the wonderful places to see and explore by boat, they began to realize they needed a boat with a bit more size, range, speed, capacity and comfort in a range of conditions.
As conversations began, the plan for GATSBY II began to emerge. Read more about it here!
RUBY SLIPPER plans are now available!
(Reviewed in WoodenBoat No. 287)
Doug’s latest design, previously featured on our “On the Drawing Board” page, has now been fleshed out into both downloadable study plans and printed build plans available in our Stock Plans section.
Those of you who followed Doug’s initial design for the boat while still “on the drawing board” will notice some subtle adjustments as the design has evolved.
For an outside opinion, please see Mike O’Brien’s review in the latest issue of WoodenBoat (No. 287).
