Some of the Power and Sail Designs I'd Like to Build One Day
(if you have something in mind that's not shown here, we'll either find it or design it)
A Power Launch (or Yacht Tender)
26' Launch by John Alden, c1926
A Versatile Launch Design
I love this design with the Model T-style convertible top and the rumble seat forward. You don't see those features except in restored antiques these days but what a fun boat boat for an inland lake or river!
A modern build that's easy to maintain, and with that look . . .
we should talk! Call or email me, quick!

Runabouts
23' Chris-Craft Holiday
A Big Roomy Runabout
According to at least one authority, this design debuted in 1950 and was the first new Chris-Craft design after WWII to feature the bullnose bow. After the first 88 hulls were built, the reverse-raked transom (left) was discarded in favor of a more traditional positive rake (shown in the pics below). I don't know why they changed it - I always liked the reverse rake.
I came across – and eventually acquired – Hull No. 13 (how's that for luck?) but not before the only salvageable part of her left was her hardware. I recorded her shape in the hope of building a new hull some day and put the hardware away where I could find it should that day ever come. I still have it and still harbor thoughts of building her new again, either for myself or for a like-minded Owner.
If you're that person, call or email me and we'll talk!

Corvette 28
Inspired (of course) by the 1958 Chevy by that name
Theo Werner is a Dutch naval architect and designer who "saw" this little yacht in a '58 Vette. Taking his inspiration from the iconic car design, he created the perfect blend of the best of the 1950's American runabout and sports car designs. I think his vision was perfect and this would be a fun one to build and to own!
If you agree, call or email me and let's talk Corvettes!
