Begin with small boat strategies. Certainly, it is tempting to try your chance at something spectacular and enormous but this choice will finish in despair.

There are a number of reasons it pays to begin your boat construction job on a manageable scale. To begin with, theres little danger entailed in making little boats. The job will need cash, little time, and ability - and youll you dont have to worry that small errors will cost you a ton of cash. You can just return and correct whatever its if you messed up something thats you did wrong.

You will not have to be concerned about complicated diagrams and sophisticated measurements. The layout you are going to sink your teeth into is as fundamental as fundamental gets, which is a great thing for beginners.

Speed is also a major reason straightforward plans are excellent for boat construction newbies. Because the layout is not complex, you can complete the job immediately. The procedure agonizing, or will not be boring, long. You then check in your work, and begin, follow the directions.

Earlier this month I hinted at the updated version of one of our popular designs that is soon to see the light of day. I said it would be a few weeks and that would make it about now, so I should update.

The work is progressing and most of the important stuff is done. The new hull shape is sorted out and most of the structural changes have been figured. Sail plan and accommodation changes also done. I decided to update a few other aspects of the boat at the same time, so those are on the go. I guess that about another two weeks will have it complete.

Winter weather has been good for doing design work outside of work hours, rather than freezing outside. The past few days have been warmer, relatively speaking. A SE gale blew for a couple of days and brought a 15ft swell up the coast. The storm was attached to a warm front, so today was around 60F (16C). I pulled out my boards and went surfing as soon as the wind went offshore to straighten out the swell. Nice surf of 7-8ft, maybe 10ft in the biggest sets. A SE swell along a North/South beach makes strong currents, so there was much paddling involved and much walking back along the beach occasionally to get back to the start point. With water temp below 40F (4C), even my full wetsuit with gloves, boots and hood did not prevent icecream headaches every time that I had to duck under a wave.

After a good afternoon of surf I am rejuvenated, feel alive and am back at the drawings. I must get this project done because the next one has already been lined up, a new radius chine plywood small cruiser/racer. Watch this space.

Historically speaking, this is always a bad time of year for me. Work is back with a vengeance, but funds have yet to start flowing back my way. Im almost booked up for the rest of the year, and everyone I know that does my type of work is for sure not complaining about the amount of work out there. Because cash flow is not working so well right now, Ive had to start using material Ive purchased last summer to keep things moving forward.

My latest project has been getting the aft deck ceiling installed, installing the salon soffit, the port, starboard, and aft steaming navigation lights, the aft deck ceiling lights, along with the salon soffit lights. I also wired the salon ceiling for lights as I intend to install the ceiling in the salon before we head to the launch site.

The aft deck ceiling was built using BC plywood which I painted. Because I wanted to be able to remove the ceiling with not to much trouble, I used stainless screws with finish washers to fasten the ceiling. Instead of hiding the joints in the ceiling, I covered them with battens pinned in place with some stainless brads. Because I have so much Cherry lumber in the barn, I made the battens out of Cherry and left the bright with a few coats of urethane. Well see how the bright battens suit us against the painted ceiling. 

Every light on the boat is LED. Last summer I purchased 40, seven watt 12 volt can lights. I purchased direct from factory in China, and have to say Im pleased with the quality of the light. The lights are aluminum with an aluminum heat sink. All the machining is top notch, and the penetrations from the wiring are epoxy sealed along with having the wiring tinned. I purchased 40 lights so I could get to a certain discount level, but I also wanted to have spares on board for replacements. I checked every light when they showed up and every light did what it was supposed to do. To date, I have about seven lights working on board now, and Im totally impressed with how bright they are, how cool they stay, and how much electricity they dont use.

For lighting the aft deck ceiling, I installed two of the seven watt can lights. Because of how the ceiling is framed, I can easily add another light using a fish tape in the future, but I doubt Ill need it as the two lights I have installed give plenty of light.

I installed a LED work light on the aft deck to illuminate the swim platform. I will also have two work lights in the mast along with one more work light on the bill of the wheel house. The work light for the swim platform is switched from inside the salon door.

The salon soffit overhangs the salon walls about six inches. I decided to install a one watt LED light over each of the three windows. These lights are blue, and my intent was for accent. I think the lights will look pretty sharp while were at anchor or at a harbor.

I do  have a design complaint regarding the aft deck ceiling. The trim piece of metal that makes up the salon soffit is about 4" tall. As the trim turns to wrap around the aft deck ceiling, it gets reduced in height to about 3". I dont know why this happens and it could be a flaw in the cut file. I saw this and knew it was going to be an issue when I was framing the super structure but I chose to do nothing about it. What this caused me to do was force the plywood ceiling up at the rear of the aft deck so that the plywood still remained above the drip edge of the trim  piece. The plywood ceiling has a  subtle curve upwards over its last 18" aft.  Not only does the plywood need to be above the drip edge, it needs to be above it about 3/8" in order to keep the reveal constant around the aft deck ceiling. The other big issue of having the plywood protected by the trim piece is to keep roof water from rolling around and getting to the edge of the plywood. It really did not look that  noticeable until I installed the cherry battens. I can tell you its a big job to fix and I doubt I"m going to fix it. It really doesnt bother me that much.  

There is really no reason why I cant install ( other than lack of funds) the ceiling in the salon now. Because its going to go much faster while in the shop, I went ahead and made all the preparations to install the ceiling. The first thing I did regarding this was to make sure all the timber frames were installed to catch the bead boards that will make the ceiling. Once the framing was complete, I located all the lights and light switch locations. The basic layout is that as one enters the salon door, youll turn on six can lights from a switch by the door. Another switch in the galley will turn on three lights; one above the sink, one above the range, and another above the fridge. There will be another light in the half  bath.

Since I was wiring the ceilings, I decided to go ahead and run the wiring  feeding the switches, and also installed a switch for the aft deck work light, the aft deck ceiling light, and the salon ceiling lights. The soffit lights will be switched from the wheel house and the feed has not been established.

The wheel house will also be switched from a wall, but I want to have some red lights in there along with a few of my already purchased can lights. So given that, Ill probably have two switches for the wheel house ceiling lights. 

All my wiring connections were made using heat shrink crimp type connectors. For larger connections where more than two wires joined, I used potted wire nuts. Some purists might frown on a potted wire nut in a marine environment, but I have 100% confidence in them. Ive been using potted wire nuts for assembling splice boxes in septic tanks and sewage lift stations for 25 years. I have yet to see corrosion in those wire nuts be and issue and I can assure you that ocean air is no where near as corrosive as the inside of a septic tank. Potted wire  nuts are pricey, but you get what you pay for and theyre worth the money.

My immediate goal is to complete the salon ceiling, and build the salon door. I  have to be able to lock the boat up once at the launch site, so a proper salon door is a must. The salon door is going to be wood, and the wheel house door is going to be aluminum.

A large piece of wiring and carpentry has now been checked off of my list. Having good reliable lighting is a must and it feels good to have this part of the project working and off the list. Once the boat is at the launch site, the soffit I just finished will be about 16 in the air, and since I have  no side decks I would have had to use scaffold  to do this work. It was a good thing to be able to quickly do it in the shop while it was only 7 off the ground.

Free Boat Plans - Are They Worth It?

Okay, so youve decided to build a boat and you have come to the realization that the most important tool that you can use to ensure success is an effective boat plan. The chances are that if you search the internet for free boat plans you may find a few but they are probably either incomplete or not the style of boat that you would like to build.

The first question you should ask is, "Are free boat plans worthwhile?" If you are a novice when it comes to boat building then you need to realize the amount of time that it takes to build a boat yourself. It could take anywhere from a couple of weeks to a couple of years! Now considering the time and effort that will be used to build your perfect boat dont you think a good set of boat plans important? Take the time to decide exactly what style of boat you would like to design and build AND THEN go find the best boat plans for you!


One of the problems that you might find with free boat plans is that you are working from the wrong design style while mid way through your project. You have to look at your project from the perspective of an investor. Perhaps youre building your own boat because you have more time to invest than money. If this is the case, you should invest money into a quality boat plan as this will save you a lot of your precious time in the long run.

Instead of wasting your time on free boat plans you should surf the internet for the specific boat plan that you desire or invest in some 3d boat design software and create your own plan. Most boat design software is relatively affordable and can even be cheaper than buying pre-made boat plans. You will probably even be surprised at how easy it is to use boat design software.

Long story short, free boat plans are usually not worth it. This is especially the case if you are a novice and have never built a boat before. A more experienced boat builder might find some benefit to adding some free boat plans to their arsenal but even that can prove to be dangerous. Invest in some good boat plans and avoid the disappointment that comes from wasting your time on a fruitless project.

This past Monday I stopped to see the boatbuilders McClave, Philbrick & Giblin of Mystic, Connecticut. These fellows are traditional wooden boatbuilders and experts at what they do. They are in the process of putting a new housetop on NY32, #9, Salty. While some might be tempted to use marine plywood, they are doing it to the original plans which calls out 7/8" white cedar, which is tongue and grooved and covered in canvas.

Heres the midship section.


And the work in process.


Note the soaker hose running around the perimeter of the boat and under a plastic tarp to keep her hydrated.

Factors may also be sucked in to the water intake, and should not be utilized in shallow water.

Stern Drive
This is usually known as an Inboard/Outboard and consists of an engine and drive connected via the transom of the boat. The engine is inside as well as the propulsion is outside from the boat.

The Nova Scotia Boatbuilders Association is hosting their Marine Industry Conference 2013 in Halifax, NS, on March 7th and 8th. The venue is the Lord Nelson Hotel and Suites.

I am honoured to have been invited at the recent IBEX to be one of the speakers at this Canadian event. My allotted subject is "Designing for Strength in Lightweight Plywood Boats". I will cover the detailing that I have developed and found to be successful, as well as some of the designs that I have drawn for my construction methods.

All of these methods and designs are suitable for either professional or amateur builders and produce boats that are fast and light.

So, if you are in the Canadian Maritime Provinces and are interested in plywood boats that you can build for yourself and which perform well, please come to the conference to hear what I have to say and see what I have to show. I look forward to meeting you and talking boats.
