Sailing Yacht Designs by Paul R. Kotzebue, P.E.

I am making complete plan packages for selected sailing yacht designs available as PDF downloads free of charge. So far, the free plan packages include a 60 foot cold molded wood Skerry Cruiser and a 39 foot plywood sloop. More designs may be added to this site as time goes by. You may use the plans for any purpose with no restrictions. The full size prints measure 24 inches by 36 inches, so you will need to have them printed by a reprographics business. Reduced size drawings printed on 11 inch by 17 inch paper are perfectly legible and can be used for study purposes or obtaining bids from boatbuilders and suppliers.

The plans contain enough information to build a complete boat, but some details such as companionway hatch construction are left to the builder. The designs are kept simple enough to be built by a skilled amatuer boat builder. Students of yacht design will find the drawings useful as informative examples of the trade.

Click on the images below for descriptions of the designs and a link to PDF downloads.

By downloading plans from this site you accept all responsibility for their use. You also agree that Paul R. Kotzebue, PE is not responsible for anything that happens as a result of your acquiring the plans.
