About Me

​​​I run a small marine design office in the sunny Bay of Plenty in New Zealand. A majority of my design work is supporting boatbuilders globally with expertise. I also work directly with private customers on bespoke projects. My focus is on aluminium kitset vessels between 5 and 24m. A large portion of my design work is power catamarans, but I also have a growing catalog of sport fishing boats, glass bottom boats, transfer boats, and landing crafts.  I have recently moved all of my power catamaran designs to a new website for easier reference on those projects.   

If you wish to discuss a project, feel free to contact me through the details at the bottom of the page.

POWER CATAMARAN DESIGNS

MONTOON - SURF BOAT DESIGNS

 The "Montoon" range of boats is designed for Surfers as transfer boats around surf breaks. The hull is a deep V monohull with hybrid pontoons incorporated aft. This design offers a lot of stability and extra airtight chambers for smaller boats. The Montoons ride well in rough water and they are stable at rest in swells. The new designs will accommodate twin engine installations for additional safety for offshore use.  A number of these designs are now in production with our affiliate builder in Indonesia. Please contact me for more info.​

M-SKIFF - LANDING CRAFT DESIGNS

The "M-Skiff" hulls is a type of tri-hull configuration. The design offers stability, shallow draft, and the ability for the boats to be easily hauled up the beach if there is an approaching cyclone. I have landing craft, glass bottom boats, and transfer boats using this hull shape. The size range is 7-12m in aluminium kitsets. 

I am looking for boatbuilders now!
If you're an aluminium boat building business please send me your contact details. I have a number of aluminium projects ready for construction.
