The Fliptail is a simple and stable folding dinghy which is pretty, functional, light weight and easy to build. It consists of a central keel with two drop down floors, four hinged hoops and a reinforced PVC cloth skin.

It assembles in moments and rows and sails extremely well. Tough, light and resilient, with a 3.3hp motor it can also plane at speeds of up to 14 knots! Available in three sizes from 6 to 9 feet long. (1.8m to 2.75m)

The Stasha is the World's lightest nesting dinghy weighing in at about 10 kilos (22lbs) making it child's play to launch and retrieve. The Stasha is an elegant design and is a delight to row and great fun to sail. Despite its light construction it is surprisingly strong.

The Stasha is made of two halves with a simple locking mechanism allowing it to be easily assembled on deck, on shore or even in the water. As it's made from so few materials it doesn't cost much to build.

The Origami is a sturdy design that has stood the test of time. Like the Fliptail, the Origami has a central keel, two drop down floors and a reinforced PVC skin. The Origami has plywood side panels which makes this dinghy very robust.

Folding flat to just a few inches in moments and weighing from as little as 15 kilos (33lbs) she is easy to move around and stow. The Origami will take an engine, rows very well and also sails. Available in 6 and 8 foot versions. (1.8m & 2.4m)

Easy to build, very stable and easy to customise.

The Deckster is the boat with a hole in it! Designed to stow on deck around the foot of your yacht's mast, it's the hard dinghy solution for the spatially challenged. The Deckster is stable, rows well, takes an engine and sails.

The Deckster does more, it can also use the revolutionary Hobie Mirage drive allowing you to face forward and keep your hands free whilst in motion.

The Foldavan is an ingenious teardrop bicycle caravan with three modes. In 'Stow' mode it concertinas down to just 21cm so it can be put away easily when not in use. In 'Road' mode it extends to 60 cm wide so you can get where you are going with ease. In 'Camping' mode it is a full metre wide (option to build a 1.2 metre version). With its small and aerodynamic shape and super light weight it is no problem to tow along. You can even put a 6 ft Fliptail or Origami dinghy inside!

At just 30 kilos it is very easy to tow and if it's windy you can unzip the sides to make it easier to pedal and avoid it being blown over. Despite its top heavy appearance most of the weight is very low down adding to the stability.

The Hoopy wooden bicycle. It might look complicated to make but the frame can be marked, cut out and glued ready for varnish in just two days. The box section frame is immensely strong yet only weighs 3 kilos.

The Hoopy is a 'one size fits all' bicycle but the seat can be raised or lowered during the build if required. It can carry two with ease and will make you friends wherever you go. It's also great to ride. Surprisingly fast and very comfy.

Most of the parts needed to build a Hoopy are easily available secondhand or can be salvaged from old bikes. 

The Plurt is an insulated yurt weighing just 250 kilos making it easy to assemble, transport and store. Opening windows can be fitted where you like and the panels are interchangeable allowing for different configurations. There is even an extended headroom option.

It uses easy to find materials in its construction and typically costs about half that of a traditional yurt of a similar size.

With its spacious and bright interior, the Plurt is a very cosy place to be.

The Plystream is a unique two berth aerodynamic caravan. It weighs just 300 kilos so is light enough to be towed by almost any car and its slippery shape makes it very stable and easy to tow.

The fully insulated Plystream can be built from metric or imperial materials and thanks to its symmetrical shape it can be easily adapted to fit on any trailer.

It will take about 350 hours to build a Plystream and thanks to our comprehensive plans, along the way you will learn some very useful skills, such as how to bend wood, varnish, use epoxy, make templates and much more.

The Slidavan is an easy to build lightweight telescopic caravan which does it all. On the road its light weight and compact dimensions means you'll hardly know you are towing it.

At the campsite it takes just a minute to turn it in to a fully insulated and very comfortable 2 berth caravan with full standing headroom throughout.

No special skills or materials are needed to build a Slidavan and you don't need much space either as a Slidavan can be built in a one car garage.
