Cradle boats have for centuries been a part of the maritime tradition of seafaring nations throughout the world, being built by shipwrights and sea captains for their first-born child and then passed down through the generations as family heirlooms.
We are proud to introduce Li’l Longship, the latest addition to our extensive cradle boat fleet. Designed in the spirit of the classic Viking Longship, her sweeping lines and imposing figureheads embody the spirit of adventure and exploration when Norse sailors ruled the waterways of Europe. The boat has a length of 54 in. and a beam of 22 in. Construction is traditional lapstrake, modified for simplicity and to take advantage of modern materials.
Like all of my designs, the plans for Li’l Longship are meticulously developed and drawn with the amateur builder in mind. Plans include full-size patterns for all parts, large-scale construction drawings for all assemblies, and to clarify the building process, comprehensive construction notes describing all components are number-keyed to the corresponding assemblies in all the drawings. Included also are patterns for a sturdy stand for supporting and displaying your masterpiece.
Includes Li’l Longship plans, patterns, instructions, and US shipping.
