Classic wooden boat plans . a collection of plans for the classic wooden boats plans- the models vary in size but i prefer to work on models that are about 1m in length or larger so the majority of plans here are for the larger models.. About the plans: i am not a naval architect, or an engineer, or even a draftsman. i am a forester by education, a furniture-maker by profession, and a boat-builder, sailor and racer by inclination. i have built a number of boats over the last 35 years or so: from the 8-foot hydroplane i built when i was fourteen, to a 21-foot sailboat built in the 1990s, and a bunch of tunnel and v-bottom.
