Boat Design: Schooner 18
The Schooner 18 is a luxurious day sailor for 2-4, with pretenses
of being a basic cruiser for 1-2. The hull and rig are essentially scaled
up versions of the Schooner 15-½. The bilge keels provide good lateral
resistance as well as easy and upright beaching. The aft cabin is quite adequate for sleeping, changing clothes, using the portable head, and stowing gear. The aft cabin separates the helm from the outboard motor.

Within these pages you will surely find the boat of your dreams, offered
to you in affordable options: SAILBOAT KITS, ROW BOAT KITS, FINISHED
BOATS, or BOAT PLANS. We are especially proud of our customers, who
through the twenty plus years we've been in business, have built over
800 Shell Boat sailboat kits and rowing boat kits. Many of our customers
have enjoyed building these boats with younger family members, further
helping to pass on from one generation to the next the traditions and
legacy of boating. Our boats are sailed the world over and it warms
our hearts to know how universal is the love of sailing!
Our intention
has always been to provide our customers with safe boat kits for use
on the many bays, lakes and rivers available for exploration, relaxation,
fishing, and good ol' family fun. Our car-toppable, or easily trailered,
boat kits afford boating opportunities for today's situations and certainly
make an outing which includes boating easier to accomplish. Our own
six children have grown up with our boats, and you can be sure all of
our designs have been thoroughly family tested! Improvements made over
the years reflect our determination to build our sailboat kits and row
boat kits with the utmost attention to safety, durability, and excellent
sailing qualities.
We welcome your comments and greatly appreciate a photo of you and your finished boat. If you find yourself in beautiful Vermont please stop in for a visit to our shop as there is almost always something interesting being built, and we enjoy meeting our clients.
Fair Winds,
