These plans are suitable for the home craftsman who wants to build a fine wood-strip boat. Our computer generated plans feature full-sized (not half patterns) detailed drawings of each Station and Stem Mould, saving you the often difficult job of laying out the forms. The drawings are loaded with tips, techniques, shortcuts, and alternatives, provided by Martin Step, Mechanical Engineer, member of the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association and the CRCA, and an avid and experienced home-builder. Purchasers of these plans are also provided with a registered serial number, a set of designer's decals, and on-line help via e-mail from both the designer, John Winters, and from Martin Step, who prepared the drawing package.

Each of the Canoe plans include a 60 page book of instructions with over 150 illustrations and photographs of work methods and jigs. I provide a materials list, research reading list and all my sources for woods, resins, fiberglass cloth and hardware. I have received a great deal of positive feedback from builders saying they found my plans to be clear and easy to follow. I have written these plans describing in detail how I build wood-strip boats. My assumption is that folks buying my plans have not built a boat before. I have worked step by step through these instructions to make boat building accessible to you. - Rob Macks, Designer.
