Jordan Boats will create plywood kits for almost any boat design.  In the past four years we have made up kits for over 40 designs from Selway Fisher, Iain Oughtred, Dudley Dix, Conrad Natzio, and several kits for client designs.  We've recently added Walt Simmons of Ducktrap and George Whisstock to the designers whose designs we have made into kits.

Please contact us if you are looking for a plywood kit for Clinker Ply or Stitch and Tape designs, or need moulds cut for strip plank or cold moulded designs.

Boat building DVDs

Our first DVD on the Stitch and Tape method of Home Boatbuilding is now available. More details.

The second volume should be available in the summer of 2008.

UK Home Built Boat Rallies

Several Rallies took place in 2007.  The running of this "non-Club" has been handed over to some willing and enthusiastic volunteers who are now running the website and organising rallies.  The first rally of 2008 is planned for 24/25 May at Barton Turf on the Norfolk Broads.  Several more rallies are also being planned.

Please go to www.uk-hbbr.co.uk for more information on the Home Built Boat Rallies. 

Kit News

The Oughtred Wee Seal Kit has been shipped.

We have also shipped a kit for Michael Storer's Goat Island Skiff.

We are in the process of kitting Andrew Wolstenholme's Coot design.

The next Kit will be the Ducktrap Wherry.

Francois Vivier kits are available, but not yet priced.  If you are interested, please contact us for details.

We've started work on the National Solo class dinghy, but with no interest (so far) in actual production, this has been put aside to concentrate on new commissions and the DVDs.
