14' Frugal Skiff

This Frugal Skiff has been a favorite of Bob Leary's boat building classes in Falmouth, Mass. This 14 footer, out for it's inaugural dip, was built by students at Falmouth High School in Massachusetts.

Pilgrim's Pride 16

The Pilgrim's Pride 16, introduced in 1999, has been our most popular design with over 600 sets of plans sold world-wide.

This flat-bottomed power skiff can be built with or without a center console (included in plans).  She's particularly well suited for sport fishing. It's fast and simple to build and is easily towed with most vehicles.

Take a look at some of the PP16s on the water today in our customer gallery.

Sagamore Tender

The Sagamore Tender was the first design in the Shoestring Shipyard fleet and remains as popular today as it was when introduced in 1996.

This tender with graceful lines and light weight is easy to row. She'll make an excellent winter project for gunkholers everywhere.

Shoestring Shipyard is a frame of mind. It exists in the backyards and garages of all home boat builders.
