Melonseed Skiff 16'5"
Whether you are a long time boating enthusiast, or just beginning the search for your first boat, what you discover here about this charming traditional small boat is likely to ignite the flames of a nautical romance.
The Melonseed Skiff is an extraordinarily beautiful reproduction of a nineteenth century American workboat, that has reemerged a century later as one of the premier boats in the day sailor category.

PD Racer
The PD Racer by design is a simple and fun boat to build and to sail. The designer wanted to create a boat class that opens building and racing to everyone. The bottom 10″ of the hull is “standard” and the rest, including the sail, is up to you. Be creative!
Keeping this in mind we have created a kit that allows the builder freedom to be creative. While designed as a lightweight racer, the sit-on sides and 500+ pounds of displacement provide room for up to 2 additional crew members. Both the leeboard and the rudder are self-tending, with kick-up style boards. The provided 60 sq, ft, Leg o’ Mutton sail will provide plenty of thrills in heavier winds, but dumps air in a gust to prevent spills.
