What makes Michael Storer boats
special?
Light Weight
A light boat is easier and more fun to use. We really
understand lightweight structures so our boats are often
half the weight of similar types that you may see elsewhere.
And we do this without sacrificing strength. It also makes
them cheaper and faster to build - fewer parts!
Easy Building
Our plans are step by step in most cases and include full
instructions on how to use all the materials involved.
As we understand boat structures so well we eliminate
parts wherever possible. You will find the total number
of parts involved in our boats can be half or a third
of some similar designs. We have put a full
free plan for paddles up to download so you
can see the detail for yourself.
Excellent Performance
Take a boat that is light and strong and you can't stop
it from being fast! Our boats might have a strong traditional
character, but they don't behave that way. We like sailing
fast boats - our "character boats" will sail,
row and paddle rings around others. With our motor boats
they have excellent performance with smaller motors and
excellent fuel economy.
Detailed Plans
We have spent years designing boats and selling materials.
As a result we have seen most problems that people come
across when building their first (and subsequent ) boats
and have set up the plans to make that job as easy as
possible. We also listen to builder feedback and incorporate
the best ideas into the plans.
