The Points East Pram is a little boat with big fun in mind. She is unbelievably nimble and beautiful to look at. Row, motor, or sail. Available in 8’ and a great boat for learning. In fact, the PEP is the basis for our Boatbuilding 101 and 201, 3-day classes.
The Calico Skiff combines all the proven features and performance of the Compass Skiffs and the Echo Bays to offer a wonderful, all around great skiff for motor, sail and row. She is a superb option for new boatbuilders who want a versatile, stable and seaworthy craft for any use on any waters. At just under 10’ she is a great boat for learning. In fact, the Calico is one of the models used in our popular Boatbuilding 101 and 201, 3-day classes.
The 10 and 12' Compass Skiff was designed utilizing the tab-n-lock construction method used in all the easy-to-build kits, making the kit practically build itself. One of our most popular and long-standing kits, they have been built all over and are a typical model of choice for the week long build-your-own classes.
Well over 50 have been built and for good reason: the EBDS is beautiful, classic, and easy to build. The EBDS is a nimble and light boat that sails and rows like a dream. Sailing and rowing versions are available. This model is a best seller and one of the more popular models for build-your-own boat classes.
Now available in dedicated rowing and sailing versions, these Caravelle Skiffs can be built as a great small daysailer for easy rowing or choose the Caravelle Rower as a dedicated rowboat for solo or tandem rowing.

We received enough requests for a Dory that was smaller than the Deblois Street but not les than 15.5’ overall. We have also long wanted to develop another dory design in this size range mainly for rowing and another based on the Vivier Doris for sailing, but refined dories that utilize out trademark kit construction. They will take a cooler and a load of kids out fishing and delight the builder for a solo row around the lake. This Dory builds without the need for a strongback using our Tab-n-Lock system and can be built by first-time builders.
The GIS is a great sailboat that I continue to love every season. Sail it fast, row it, sail-&-oar, camp-cruise...it is versatile and high performance and a joy to own. Designed by Michael Storer and kits exclusively by Chase Small Craft.
Status: Now available!
This 13.5’ recreational kayak will turn heads every time you launch. Light, stable and easy to paddle - it will be a delight in every way. She is planked with 4mm Okoume planking and 6mm frames in stitch-and-glue style with our trademark Tab-n-Lock system making it a snap.
