Hull Lines

Since March 2020 when the coronavirus arrived on our shores, we have maintained a special offer on the lines plans of all designs in our catalogue. In these times of social isolation, we need creative outlets more than ever. While full-size boat projects become more difficult, we can keep our selves amused and our dreams alive by model building. The lines plan, the drawing that defines the shape of a hull, is the essential requirement for making a half hull — one of the simplest and most satisfying modeling projects. In the past six months we seen excellent results from our customers — many of them first-time builders. We will keep this offer going through the winter, with hope that spring will see better times for us all.

Click here for details of the Lines Plan special offer.

If we stay busy and cheerful we will get through this.
