What is the difference between the bateau plans and others? pdf  print  E-mail
Monday, 15 December 2003

We design composite boats that use plywood, not fiberglassed plywood boats.
The difference is important: the structure and assembly method of our boats are similar to fiberglass boats, not wooden boats.
The advantages are stronger and lighter boats that are easier to build, last longer and perform better.
Most other plans for "stitch and glue" are simply plywood boats glued together with some glass and resin. In our boats, the glass and resin are the most important parts.
All our larger boat hulls, 15' and above, are made of a composite sandwich. Either plywood or foam between layers of directional fiberglass.
