After over twenty years of local business in Oregon -Applegate
Boatworks, (a Mom & Pop Business) is offering plans for the
backyard boat builder. The first designs in a line of over twenty are
now available. Boat builder John McCallum has created small boats
with beautiful lines reminiscent of traditional work boats and
ancient craft from all corners of the world. Each boat has been
painstakingly researched and developed with an eye on the past and a
view to the future of wooden boat building. Our experience has proven
the modern materials of plywood, epoxy and fiberglass tape to be the
best way to create a beautiful and useful small craft.
All our plans include a materials list and basic building
instructions but we assume that the backyard builder has basic skills
in the use of small hand tools, power tools and woodworking methods.
Some competitors plans show only the lines and measurements of a boat
but offer no order of assembly or hints. We offer more but the plans
are not a whole course in boat building.
Here are some links to boats that we have designed and built and
some boats that we have restored.
