and a glued lap model with a plank keel rigged to sail.

BTW, we now offer the lofting for this vertical keeled double ender as well.

About Us...

We've been in business here in Lincolnville Beach, Maine, since 1970.

On the map you'll find us on the shore of Penobscot Bay
about midway between Portland and Mt. Desert Island
...and in case you wondered, our company name derives from
the original name for this town.
Today, Duck Trap Village is situated within the
Town of Lincolnville.

 

We're primarily boatbuilders, but these days devote most of our time
to helping others learn how to build their own boats.
It's not an exaggeration to say that our plans come with free email and phone support.
If you want to contact us, you'll find an email link
as well as our address, phone, and fax numbers
on nearly every page of this site.
