Boat Plans

Begin your search for wooden boat plans here!  Thousands of builders have assembled Chesapeake Light Craft boats from scratch with these plans. You might already have a stash of marine grade plywood and epoxy, or it might just be your preference to build a whole boat from the keel up.

Our standard boat plans are on 24" x 36" paper; parts that fit within those dimensions are shown full size. Other components are scaled and dimensioned. Shearwaters, Shearwater Hybrids, Wood Ducks, Sea Island Sport, Matunuck, and all of our strip-planked kayaks feature full-size plans sets that show all parts at their full size.
