Not long ago, Michael Storer, the australian
boat designer, approached us about offering his plans through
Duckworks. Naturally we were excited to hear this as we are
big fans of his work. His idea was to avoid the extra costs
of printing and overseas shipping by offering the files in
PDF format. We began with the brand new OZ
PDRacer and are slowly adding more of Michael's
plans as they become available. If you are anxious to see
a particular Storer plan offered here (such as Goat Island
Skiff or Beth the kamakazi canoe) please be patient as we
are adding more plans here as they become available.
To order Storer plans not offered here,
or to read some of what the designer has to say, visit the

Got the Goat Island Skiff launched Saturday. Light wind, but otherwise a good day. I was impressed with the good shape of the Duckworks sail, especially since this was the initial use and the wind never got over 6-8 and was usually less. Didn't seem to need much adjustment. I've attached a picture that shows the sail and the codes from a video I uploaded to YouTube.
Olivier was quite the proud papa as he sailed Tiffany around.
