Calkins Sailboat Plans
Here are some small traditional sailboats designed by George Calkins. They all sail exceptionally well and are easily rowed when the wind is fickle. The larger designs lend well to double rowing with two rowing stations. With plenty of room to pack gear these seaworthy boats are well suited for beach camp cruising. The seaworthiness of these traditional designs is something to behold when the wind pipes-up and conditions deteriorate.
The amount of building details for these designs varies. Read the descriptions to see what is available. Note: there are no building instructions included. The builder should have intermediate knowledge and skills of wooden boat construction.
If you are interested in building either the 17’ or 19’ wherry from the lines available then it is recommended to purchase the 15 ½” wherry plans for construction details.
