  Like Us On
Mike Waller Yacht Design is a business specialising in boat plans for amateur boat builders. We provide stock plans for both monohull and multihull sailing vessels, including sailing skiffs and sharpies. Our designs mainly feature timber construction, in plywood or cedar strip plank composite construction, using the W.E.S.T. system (wood epoxy saturation technique). Our designs are intended mainly as cruising boats, although several have done well in racing.

This page lists books and articles which have been written by the designer on various subjects, and are made available for download. All articles are in PDF format.

Also included here are links to published books which the designer feels will be of use to an amateur builder, and other books on boat design and boat building which may simply be interesting.
