@tjkid07 That would be to 225, don't forget about the one I'm building. It's all covered for the winter. Check my facebook if you want to see it with the "monster" on the back.
The 34 foot model would be the Lone Star, however I keep checking the order form closely, the 34 foot Lone Star is NOT on the order form, however your website shows there is. This is the case when a phone number comes in handy. Thank you.
Could you possibly post a phone number in order to contact you with questions about your building plans and model comparisons, payment confirmation, ect? You website doesn't have one. Every company that sells boat plans has a phone number and an actual person you can talk to, except yours. I want to buy and build from the 34 foot dory plans you have posted, but the model is not on the order form.
Please email me at info(at)spirainternational(dot)com for the appropriate telephone number. The web site gives you a skype ID where you can talk to me live as well.
Could you put together a cost of the boat you just detailed? I want it so i can put the money together before i tell my dad for his birthday.. He loves boats, hes a lifelong sailor, and he would really enjoy this as a project. Thanks a million!
Ha I just built one of your Kachemak boats last month. Put a lot into every cut on every piece of clear lumber I could manage to find. My neighbors were always complimenting the progress and I explained every step as I was learning myself. Soon they started giving me singular items to help offset cost (cleats, lights, inverter, lights, battery, controls etc) Today I was bless with a fully functional 75 Hp Johnson Stinger.Little did I know I wasn't building a boat, I was helpin build a community
I would like to make a boat for bay and sea fishing and also with a swimming deck if possable but I get pissed off at how the wood curve's and I don't know how too curve it.
I'm very pleased with this guy! I just bought the v bottom dory 19ft plans. The price is right and it really is something that some one with no exuberance can do. he makes sure its easy to fallow. These youtube vids are great made me really interested. I look forward to making this boat! Thank you sir!
im looking to buy some of your plans but dont know what plans to go for im looking for a fishing boat that holds four or five people v bottom for the sea
Try the Hatteras - a 19' v-bottom dory, or the 17' version Kachemak. They have been built all over the world and the owners love them. Check my web site for more info and slide shows.
Thanks alot for your video and web site. it very nice for you to share your deep knowledge and experience with us over internet. Thanks alot again from Turkey. Now I'm going to build my own boat. :) ( I mean soon )
I am looking to build a cheap, probably a 4 foot by 10 foot wood boat for my friend and I, but we have no money so I am wondering if you could try to make one out of household supplies, maybe, but nice boat
On the home page of your website... what is that blue/white boat at the top? I like the looks of that. Can't seem to figure out which design it is... but then again I look at your site at 2 am so I may be missing something. I would like something like that with a topside structure of sorts. Something you could stay the weekend on with tooling around. Is it obvious I know very little about boats?? Thanks
I'm curious, how is the fairing made to meet and seal at the centre of bow? As it must be slightly more complicated than just laying up and fastening down as It could be elsewhere on the frame.
This is covered in a How-To guide on my website available for download on the free boatbuilding information page at spirainternational(dot)com/hp_free.html
Fir is a kind of wood and clear means knot free. You can find all about the kind of wood to use by downloading my boatbuilding lumber "How-To Guide" here: spirainternational(dot)com/hp_free.html
hi i downloaded your plans for the dory boat to build. but i cant figure out how you curved the sides of the boat top and bottom. i am able to understand everything else except this one. the dory i hope to build is on where you have the free plans. thanks pat
You may have to steam the sheer clamps and chine logs. The best way is to wrap them ion rags and pour boiling water on them and let them soak for an hour or so. That'll soften them up enough to make the curves.
I grew up in Oregon. The ocean has always held a fascination for me. Still does, tho I am now in Oklahoma(how much farther can you GET from the ocean?) I always wanted a sailboat built for open waters. Freaked out everybody around me as a teenager just talking about going out there(and I didn't even HAVE a boat!)
Your video is very inspiring by showing that boats can be built at home with common tools/skills. I hope that many follow your advice and get out there in their own boat.
Sir, you're an inspiration, i've been dreamin for so long now i'm starting to follow your instruction and logging into your site. thanks God Bless and more power

Awsome boat i wish i could make it that good. Its a very good boat im going to see if i can get some materials to try out building a boat atleast halfway as good as yours. Thanks for the tips and the video which was really gud by the way.
Would anyone be able to help those poor stricken countries, like India, how to make small boats for their communities, to use during the monsoon times?
Hi! my name is Dennis. Thanks for sharing this video. I was born and raised in Philippine island of Negros and thinking of building my own fishing boat down there and this video help.
This brings back memories of one of my first jobs out of high school in the 60's. I worked as an apprentice at the Taft Marine Boatworks in Minneapolis, MN. After WWII Taft was a popular wood boat company, offering a range of kits for runabouts and small cruisers. There was one competitor but the name escapes me. The boat kit industry faded as the sailboat kits became Taft's main product line. I recall the smell of the oak, spruce, and mahogany raw wood that was milled into the various pieces.
i plan to start with a 16 buy 4 native style canoe which i will be altering slitly from your boat plans so I thank you greatly for sharing your knowledge out of love of the water and not Greed! (>'.')>
Jeff you Rock!! I've been digging for information on boats for a while and it seems people with knowledge don't like to share it I'm a mech in fl buy trade and have always loved the three sides of fl and all of its rivers. This christmas i've constructed a nativaty for my mother in law and relized i have a deep love of carpentery
thanks for the video. just 1 question, you say some people coat the ply with fiber-glass, does the expansion and contractions of the ply not crack it? from rain, different temperatures etc. to cover a boat of that size with fibre-glass in Ireland would probably cost =$500. help! thanks again.
No. They don't crack with epoxy wet glass. A small boat can be glasses for about $100 US with two layers of 6 oz cloth and epoxy. It's hard to conceive that shipping would be that much. I don't know if you need to pay taxes for importing materials though.
Yes. Click on the tjkid07 channel link and there's a link to the web site where there are lots of different boat plans you can build,, including some free downloadable boat plans - one for a kayak and one for a small dory.
Jeff you are the man... !!! what a great video thank you soo much... a lot of things i didnt do right and my last boat failed....THANKS FOR THE VID AGAIN.
good vid. here in the netherlands we build boats revirse so...first the hullplates and than the ribs. primary we use the backside (dont know the name) as the form of the bottom and side. and eh...we use no kiel (not in our outside. wanna see the result? see my vid. keep building! Ad
I'm a young entrepreneur, age 20, with my high school diploma and no college degree. I have done many fiberglass projects and would like to build a boat such as the one you have built in this video. I'm just wondering how much this boat in peticular could sell for on the market, and if there is a chance that you can use carving styrofoam as a base, rather than would, and basically complete the whole boat in fiberglass? Any tips or tricks would be much appreciated. Thanks!
this is awesome. i was first on a boat when i was 8. it was a boat my grandfather built himself -- a 20' sloop. sailing and fishing have been in me ever since. i'm rather poor, but full of energy and desire to return to the water on a daily basis. and i love building. this helps a lot thanks!
actually, u might know the area: my grandfather's boat was docked at Alamitos Bay in Long Beach. In the late 80s my dad worked as a carpenter rebuilding the slips there, too.
You bet! I've had a boat slip in Alamitos bay for many years, and have extensively explored the coast from Point Sur to Mexico, including all of the offshore islands.
Cool! I'd love to own a sail of my own. I may start with a small skiff for freshwater fishing (love bass). I'll get there some day. Thanks again for the vid!
Okay, this vid helped me. I'm with YouthBuild and our instructors are gonna make us build a boat from materials they give us...just hope it flows. Guess i'll head on over to your site.
A dory about this size has crossed the north Atlantic from New York to England. I wouldn't try it with anything smaller than about 27 feet,though. My site has boats from 7' long to 32 feet long - many able to handle the open ocean.
the video is great... instruction on building a boat is well taught.... i'm glad i found this video, i been wanting to build myself my very own boat. i love the website as well,especially the PLANs.....
buenas noches .. señor ... vi su pagina en internet .. felicitaciones... talvez un dia .. compre sus planos y libros .. gracias .. roberto de argentina .. good evenings , sir ... i saw his site in internet . congratulations ... perhaps someday i ll buy his plans and books .. thanks .. roberto from argentina
Very nice work, it gave me some valuable points how to start building my boat. Oh, and it's also appreciated that you spoke so slow and clearly, great for us non-native-speakers. Now, I'm off to your web site to get this ebook. Thank you very much!!
Great video, and a great introduction to small boatbuilding. My interest grows and grows, and this video was a major contributor. Thanks for the information, and for making it so appealing. (I'm on my way to your Web site now . . .!)
how big do american yellowtail kingfish grow? in new zealand where i come from i catch 45kg yellow tail... (around 100 pounds) and they give one hell of a fight. nice vid, it helped me alot!
The record over here is in the 75 lb (34 kg) range, but that size only live down in Mexican waters, especially at Guadalupe Island. In California they range from 10 to 20 lbs (4-9 kg)and a 40 pounder (18 kg) is considered huge.
Does anyone know if Spira International is still in business? They have a lot of boat plans I like. I emailed them on sunday but still never heard from them. I didn't place my order but I asked a question.
Yes I am. I do have a day gig though that takes some time. Been in meetings from early AM to late at night for the past couple days. I'll be replying to e-mails this morning (Wednesday.)

Hello Sir,
I'm a young entrepreneur, age 20, with my high school diploma and no college degree. I have done many fiberglass projects and would like to build a boat such as the one you have built in this video. I'm just wondering how much this boat in peticular could sell for on the market, and if there is a chance that you can use carving styrofoam as a base, rather than would, and basically complete the whole boat in fiberglass? Any tips or tricks would be much appreciated. Thanks!

this is awesome. i was first on a boat when i was 8. it was a boat my grandfather built himself -- a 20' sloop. sailing and fishing have been in me ever since. i'm rather poor, but full of energy and desire to return to the water on a daily basis. and i love building. this helps a lot thanks!

actually, u might know the area: my grandfather's boat was docked at Alamitos Bay in Long Beach. In the late 80s my dad worked as a carpenter rebuilding the slips there, too.

You bet! I've had a boat slip in Alamitos bay for many years, and have extensively explored the coast from Point Sur to Mexico, including all of the offshore islands.

Cool! I'd love to own a sail of my own. I may start with a small skiff for freshwater fishing (love bass). I'll get there some day. Thanks again for the vid!

Okay, this vid helped me. I'm with YouthBuild and our instructors are gonna make us build a boat from materials they give us...just hope it flows. Guess i'll head on over to your site.

How deep into the sea can this boat go?

A dory about this size has crossed the north Atlantic from New York to England. I wouldn't try it with anything smaller than about 27 feet,though. My site has boats from 7' long to 32 feet long - many able to handle the open ocean.

I didn't build this particular hull. It was built by one of my customers who bought the design from me and documented it very well as he built it.
To keep it centered, you temporarily attach it to the strongback jig. That keeps everything lined up.
Standard ABX ply works fine if covering with fiberglass. Birch and mahogany are also fine choices. That one uses 1/2"
Yes, you could fill the spaces between the ribs with foam and deck over it.
E Glass is fine.
3/4 ply for the transom

Very nice work, it gave me some valuable points how to start building my boat. Oh, and it's also appreciated that you spoke so slow and clearly, great for us non-native-speakers. Now, I'm off to your web site to get this ebook. Thank you very much!!

how big do american yellowtail kingfish grow? in new zealand where i come from i catch 45kg yellow tail... (around 100 pounds) and they give one hell of a fight. nice vid, it helped me alot!
fishinatorXD 3 years ago
The record over here is in the 75 lb (34 kg) range, but that size only live down in Mexican waters, especially at Guadalupe Island. In California they range from 10 to 20 lbs (4-9 kg)and a 40 pounder (18 kg) is considered huge.

Does anyone know if Spira International is still in business? They have a lot of boat plans I like. I emailed them on sunday but still never heard from them. I didn't place my order but I asked a question.
