John Welsford at Canyon Lake in Texas. You can't see the crowd around him as we have cropped them out, but he is holding court in one of his favorite elements, tallking to boatbuilders. You can peruse John's plans below--his unique boat designs each have their own "personality"--the mark of John's hand as it were. John's designs are very popular in Australia, New Zealand, and Great Britain, and are becoming well known in the US.  Some of these boats are a bit more challenging than those of other designers, but are worth the extra effort. Build one of John's beautiful, classic designs and be the envy of every other boater
