Boats come in all sorts of materials, and we design in most all of them - Here are some photos of a boat we designed this summer using High density Polyethylene (HDPE). We provided them with CNC cutting shapes to provide a PE kit..! Shapes similar to plywood and metal can be done with the material, and it is welded together similar to metal. Its super durable and relatively light weight! The builder is coming right along and looks to be doing a great job!

Bruce Roberts has been doing plans for wood boats for a very long time. Over the last few years wooden boat building in Turkey has been active, and several builders there have chosen Bruce Roberts for their building plans. Here are some photos of a TY 485 being built in wood by one of the Turkish builders. As a background, the TY 485 was developed in steel back in the late 90's with many having been built in both steel and aluminum. Metal plans convert well to a wood build, so if you are interested in a metal plan, but would prefer to build in wood, give us a shout!
Something to inspire for the weekend, a video just in from the builders of the COASTER 32 that we presented a little while back. What a great pocket cruiser for a couple or small family.
