Elterwater
Pram
This
Pram is designed for people in a hurry to get out on the water. It is
of a classic design with three buoyant compartments forming the seats.
It is light enough to be car topped and short enough to be carried
whilst towing a caravan.
This
stable boat is ideal for fishing or simply messing about in on rivers
and lakes. The epoxy makes it a low maintenance vessel where the paint
(if any) is purely cosmetic. It can be roughly treated as a work boat
or lovingly cosseted as a picnic pleasure caft.
The
standard kit is for a rowing version but this can be developed to
become an able sailer using an unstayed mast. The sailing option which
includes a daggerboard, daggerboard case, rudder, tiller, mast and boom
can be fitted at a later date.

The
Wherry
The
Wherry is a traditional fast rowing boat. Her handsome hull shape
reminds us of classic Thames wherries. Observers have described her as
"the most sophisticated stitch and glue kit available" and "the best
looking boat kit ever". She makes a splendid open water exercise shell
and, at weekends, she will serve as an elegant picnic boat for two. The
Wherry can be rowed using normal fixed rowlocks, or a Piantedosi
sliding seat and out riggers may be installed - and removed- in under a
minute (sold separately). With a sliding seat she displays a rewarding
speed while having enough stability for a novice oarsman.
Construction
is of 6 mm okoume with Honduran mahogany gunwales and knees. The
Lapstitch ™ technique of construction means that no
strongback or formers are required. The hull is simply wired together
and glued. She is reinforced along her keel with fibre glass for
abrasion protection. The building time is typically about 70 hours.

Jimmy
Skiff
The
Jimmy Skiff is a modern adaptation of an age old design. Our skiff
sails and motors as well as it rows and can accommodate a family of
four. Due to its lightweight construction, it can easily be carried on
your car top or hoisted onto the deck of a larger boat. It readily
accepts a small outboard motor, and sails like a dream when fitted with
her leg-o-mutton sail. The basic kit includes everything you need to
outfit her as a rowboat or motorboat. The optional sail kit includes
the mast, sprit boom, dagger board and case, and rudder and tiller, see
our sailing section.

Oxford
Shell
The
Oxford Rowing Shell is designed for novice and intermediate rowers, and
while it is not an 'open water boat' it can be rowed in a fair chop. A
comparison row with one of the best known recreational shells showed
the Oxford Shell to be extremely fast and quite stable. The design
features a high coaming and watertight bulkheads. A drop in unit (sold
separately) is used: all the rigging can be installed (or removed) in
less than a minute. This makes car topping and storage much easier than
with most shells of this level of performance. Construction is
straightforward and a competent woodworker should have no trouble
assembling the kit in a week.
