87 Boat Designs
A catalogue of small boat plans from Mystic Seaport Museum edited by Benjamin Fuller.
Not a designer's catalogue, but a collection of plans which are available from Mystic Seaport Museum.
Plans include canoes, dories and flat-bottom boats, yacht tenders, Whitehalls and transom-stern pulling boats, double-ended pulling boats, scull floats and duck boats, cat-rigged boats, yawls and ketches, powerboats, and plans for oars and sails. Naturally the designs shown are of traditional North American origin, but many of them are historical and show their origins in European and British designs, the 'Whitehall' pulling boats particularly.
An appendix lists the plans and gives details on how to order them.
104 pages. B&W drawings.

Catalogue of Designs by Paul Gartside
Paul is a Designer and Builder, originally from Cornwall who now lives and works on Vancouver Island in Canada. His catalogue contains details and drawings of approximately fifty nine designs ranging from the ubiquitous 6ft. Pram to 45 ft. Motor Sailers. On the way we have some lovely pulling boats, sailing dinghies, day-sailers, weekenders, sailing cruisers, steam launches and inboard and outboard motor cruisers, many showing the influence of the Cornish craft that he encountered as a young man on the Truro and Falmouth Rivers.

A Catalogue of Designs from Iain Oughtred
Although born in England, Iain spent most of his childhood and adolescence in Australia where he became a proficient racing dinghy helmsman. Returning to England he became an enthusiastic proponent of epoxy/plywood construction adapting many of our traditional small boats to this method of construction. His catalogue of plans shows about thirty-five designs ranging from small tenders to small sailing cruisers, and icludes canoes, dories, Thames rowing skiffs, rowing and sailing dinghies, double-ended day boats and cruisers. He is perhaps best known for his adaptations of the small double enders of Orkney and Shetland, derivatives of Norwegian craft to plywood construction. His racing experience ensures that his boats are no sluggards under sail or oar.
72 pages. Line drawings.
