Duck Trap Press......Books from W. J. Simmons
We built this boat this past summer. She's planked with 9mm Okoume marine ply, and as you can see, trimmed out with mahogany. When you get ready to build your own, we offer the plans, the lofting, and the book, Building Sunshine, you'll need.

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 theTown
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.
