What’s in our Dinghy & Canoe Kits

​

Plywood & Epoxy Kits – a complete kit that provides you with everything you need to build your boat.  Hull panels are CNC cut to be as accurate as possible. Any hatch holes etc. are drilled including the stitch holes where required. All the epoxy materials are supplied (resin, hardener and fillet additive) plus the wood for the trim and seats. Also included (depending on the kit), are some ancillary items such as round hatches, wooden cleats, mooring rope, cable ties, vinyl gloves, mixing sticks, mixing pots and any extras you have ordered.

A full instruction manual is included which takes you through the build step by step.

​

Basically all you need to build your boat ready for preparation for paint and/or varnish.

​

Canoe kits also include a yoke ready to finish, fit and prepare for varnish.

​

​

Plywood Only Packs - are as it says. Just the plywood parts for your hull CNC cut and any required stitch holes drilled. You supply the rest. A full materials list for the balance is supplied so you can price up your project.

See our Study Plans. (Not all designs yet)

(Plywood Only Packs are being reintroduced due to popular demand during April 2022)

​

All our kits are cut from a top quality Okoume/Gaboon marine plywood that is certified and guaranteed. The veneers are of a high grade and give an excellent surfaces for paint and varnish. Some kits have a few extras too such as clamps, mixing pots, cleats and rope.

​

Our kits will give you a great little boat to build and we are available to advise you and answer any questions as you build if you need it and as often as you need it.
