Bevin’s Skiff

About the Bevin’s Skiff

The Bevin’s Skiff is a small, traditional rowing or sailing boat that is easy to build and use. Our plans provide an enjoyable first-time boatbuilding experience.

The finished Bevin’s Skiff is 11’8” long, weighs 120 lbs, and has a capacity of 460 lbs and limitless fun!

Are you ready to build your own Bevin’s Skiff?

Plans for the main rowing skiff are available for a donation of $50. If you would like to add the sailing rig to the skiff, those plans are an additional $25. Shipping is $10. Your donation gives you the rights to build two boats. If you wish to build more than two boats, you are asked to pay a royalty fee of $10 per additional boat.
