About Us - STANLEY SmallCraft

We've been doing what we do for 35 years now designing and building small boats plus producing DIY plans and quality kits allowing you to build your own boat.

We don't just leave you to get on with it either. We are available by email/text/phone/even WhatsApp to assist you if you get stuck or help you with customising your boat with your own ideas.


Whatever you are looking for, DIY canoe building plans, DIY dinghy building plans, build materials or perhaps some chandlery for your boat, we can help by either supplying it or pointing you in the right direction. 

​

We can help and advise you with your own project too and even cut it for you.

​

A lightweight plywood dinghy or canoe can make for an easier and cheaper, boating experience.

In the 8' to 10' range of boats, fibre glass dinghies, moulded plastic canoes and inflatables are all heavy and/or cumbersome. They require trailers to move them about on land and larger powered outboard motors to move them on the water. Most of our designs for both dinghies and canoes can be carried on a roof rack and easily carry to the water.

​

Our plywood dinghies and canoes are designed to be lightweight, sometimes half the weight. A 10', 12' or 14' plywood canoe can be easily carried on a roof rack and can often be put up there solo as can an 8' dinghy. 10' dinghies and larger canoes will probably need two to move them about more because of size than weight.

Being lightweight, crew distribution is important to keep the boat balanced. They only need small, lightweight outboard motors which also helps to keep costs down.
