Catamaran Skiffs - Stable, Dry, and Versatile
Several months ago, Mark Gumprecht wrote me about a couple of interesting and lovely rowing catamarans he had built. He submitted the article below and I quickly accepted it. Then I asked him if he was interested in offering plans for these unique designs to our readers. He thought that might be a good idea and asked for a little time to work them up. Then a few weeks ago, the plans in the form of PDF files arrived in my mailbox. We discussed the details briefly and the rest is history. You can find plans for the 8 foot "L'il Nip" and the 12 foot "Glider" in our store. Be sure to visit Mark's website too at: ridgelinedesigns.com
After living aboard our 40-foot Cross trimaran in San Diego for several years, my wife and I sold the boat and moved to the south coast of Massachusetts. The area’s endless inlets and coves seemed perfect for exploring with a smaller boat, so once we were settled I built a 22-foot trailerable catamaran and a basic 9-foot flat bottom plywood skiff to use as a tender. The small skiff rowed well in flat water but had a tendency to pound in wind and chop. I became intrigued by the idea of building a catamaran skiff with similar lines to our 22-foot cat, and this is the story of that project.
I became intrigued by the idea of building a catamaran skiff with similar lines to our 22-foot cat.
The catamaran skiff has two dory hulls connected by a narrow bridge deck that serves as a continuous seat, fore and aft. It is built with 1/4-inch luan plywood from Home Depot, which, at $12 a sheet, is a great choice for a cheap experimental design. The two dory hulls are simple to build, and each of them was put together in a day.
The two dory hulls are simple to build, and each of them was put together in a day.
I began by setting up two temporary frames and the transom on my workbench. After shaping the two side panels to line up on the frames, I placed the bottom panel on top and scribed the piece. I placed thickened epoxy between the bow seams and tack-glued the bottom, using masking tape to hold it in place. Next, I filleted and taped the inside corners and glassed the hull bottoms. Bulkheads and beams at each end held the hulls together and created watertight compartments in bow and stern. I used quarter-inch plywood to connect the hulls and create the bridge deck seat. Finally, I sealed everything with a couple of coats of epoxy, then sanded and varnished the outside of the hulls.

The maiden voyage
After launching the boat, and before taking her out for a spin, my first task was to find the balance point, and locate and install the oarlocks. I was finally ready for the moment of truth. I’m happy to report that the skiff rows perfectly and the catamaran hulls are incredibly stable. At less than 8 feet long, she carries my wife, our dog, our supplies, and me from ship to shore--and back again—quite easily. I’ve, always hated rowing dinghies with the stern dragging in the water, and the continuous seat and two rowing positions allow this boat to be in perfect trim at all times. The simple varnished wooden hulls draw lots of attention at the dock. I don’t think people are accustomed to seeing wooden boats these days, and definitely not with catamaran hulls. We have used the boat for a couple of seasons now, and love it. It’s a pleasure to row and does much better in wind and chop than the original skiff I built.

One thing leads to another…
I confess that designing and building small boats has become something of an addiction. A couple of years and a trailerable trimaran later (another story), I thought it would be great fun to build a 12-foot version of my cat skiff just for rowing. It would have a sliding seat and some nice long oars, basically a stretched version of the 8-footer cat with lighter weight construction. I sketched the design, tackled the project, and am thrilled with the result.

The 12-foot rowing cat is built of 1/8-inch luan plywood with stringers and frames, and 1/4-inch luan plywood for the bottom and the seat. All the plywood came from the local building supply. In my opinion, a project like this doesn’t require marine plywood if you don’t have the extra money to spend. Most household quality plywood has exterior glue and should last a long time if epoxy coated and varnished. (I store all of my boats inside when not being used.)

Just for fun, I veneered the outside of this boat with ribbon grain mahogany, since even expensive marine plywood still looks like plywood, with nice color but wild swirling grain patterns. I was able to get large sheets of veneer, 22 inches wide and more than 11 feet long. It’s beautiful stuff and not too expensive, and about $1 a square foot. I vacuum bagged the veneer onto the 1/8-inch luan plywood with epoxy resin. Aerospace Composites sells nylon bagging tubes with special clips for making bags of any length, in this case, 13 feet long.

I cut out the frames and set them up on a long bench and added the 1/4-inch plywood stem and stringers. One side panel was clamped and marked. Once the first panel fitted correctly I trimmed the other three panels to match. I then glued the side panels onto the framework, one at a time, and scribed the bottom panel, gluing it on using masking tape to help secure the pieces. The hulls are joined with small beams fore and aft, and 1/4-inch plywood for the seat area. Shallow keels protect the bottom and give directional stability.
Having no experience with sliding seats, I found designing the mechanism a challenge. My final design uses four skateboard wheels on the seat, with a simple track on the bridge deck. I gave the outside of the boat two coats of epoxy, then sanded and varnished it. The veneered hull looks fantastic!

The outriggers are laminated out of 1/8-inch mahogany veneer, with the oarlocks approximately 10 inches outside the rails. The 9’4” oars are made with mahogany and framing lumber from Home Depot, which I find to be a great source of materials in my area. If I’m patient, I can usually find some nice, mostly clear lumber, cheap!

Rowing the boat for the first time was a thrill. I had never used a sliding seat and had no idea if my contraption would work, but after just a few strokes I got used to the motion. The combination of long oars and leg power add up to a turbo-charged rowing experience! Once I got the rhythm down I had a blast. My wife quickly got the hang of it and wants a rowing cat to call her own. The cat skiff rows great, and is a fun way to get some exercise, and enjoy our beautiful local waters.

Starting with a W720 walkaround:
Super stability, unrivaled by any kayak of any size
The W720 is not as stable as the S4 microskiff, but its stability is better than that of any kayak of any size, and it is comparable to that of a small fishing boat.
Motorizing and Driving the W720
You can drive the W720 riding the comfortable and stable saddle-seat, or standing up
With a load capacity of 400 lbs, the W720 can serve as a boat tender , and for touring:
The W720 passengers ride its 7’8″ long ergonomic saddle, which is similar to the saddles of jet-skis, all-terrain vehicles (ATV) and snowmobiles, and they can stand up anytime. The average US male weighs 200 lbs, and the average US female weighs 165 lbs, so with its 400 lbs total payload, the W720 has enough room and carrying capacity for a crew of two adult passengers and their gear, or two adult passengers and one child.

W720 Carrying Capacity (Payload) and Draft
The average US adult male weighs 200 lbs, and the average US adult female weighs 165 lbs. With its maximal recommended payload of 400 lbs, the W720 tandem kayak-skiff can carry two average size passengers, plus a portable outboard gas motor up to 3 HP.
Max Recommended Load: 400 lbs (181 kg)
SHALLOW DRAFT IN REAL-WORLD TERMS The W720 offers its crew to paddle easily, effectively and comfortably in water that’s too shallow for an outboard motor’s propeller to work in. Poling over long distances is not an option for most people, which is why the W720’s full paddling alternative to motorizing makes it the most practical boat for fishing in shallow water, as well as in places where aquatic vegetation and underwater structures limit the use of a motor. The full-fledged paddling option also makes it possible to launch and beach the W720 practically anywhere.
Onboard Storage
The W720 has an internal volume for storage and passengers that’s extremely large: 20.5 cubic ft (153 gallons, 580 liters). This volume does not include the space inside of the watertight Saddle, which should not be used for storage, since it is designated to serve as flotation. Practically, the W720 offers as much onboard storage space as a medium size Jon boat does. Read more about onboard storage »
W720 Flotation
The W720 saddle is a large-volume watertight compartment that provides 180 lbs (81 kg) of positive buoyancy, which works as flotation in case of capsize.
Paddling mode: The W720 is considerably faster when powered by a tandem crew or a strong paddler, and it’s pretty fast for an average solo paddler. Motorized: With a 3 HP outboard motor, the W720 can rarely exceed 10 mph. Note : Currently, no manufacturer of outboard gas motors offers a 4-cycle 3 HP model, and the closest are 2.5 HP outboards. As for various electric motors that are presented as being equivalent in power to 3 HP gas outboard motors, they are not, to the best of our understanding. See the “Thrust, Horsepower (HP) and Kilowatts (KW)” section in this article on motorized kayaks »
W720 Construction
The W720 is assembled from two parts rotomolded from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). These two parts are –
The Saddle , which is closed from all directions and watertight. These attributes makes it effective as flotation for the boat.
The Twinhull , which includes the two hulls, the Spray Deflector that goes around the cockpit, and a base for the Saddle part that’s dubbed the Central Platform.
The Twinhull is protected by seven molded-in plastic brackets integrated with the Saddle, plus one MDO (wood and polymer resin composite) heavy duty bracket installed behind the saddle, in a special compartment. This 3D animation video shows how the W720’s Twinhull and Saddle parts are assembled:
The saddle part is watertight, and serves as flotation. It features seven integrated (molded-in) plastic brackets (see above video) which keep the boat rigid.
Heavy Duty (HD) Wooden Saddle Bracket and Motor Mounting Plate
The above video doesn’t show the MDO (composite of wood and polymer resin) W720 bracket installed behind the saddle, in a special compartment.
This additional saddle bracket reinforces the boat’s structure in the stern area, where the load created by the combined weight of a heavy passenger and an outboard motor requires it.
In addition, this bracket provides support for the W720 motor mounting plate, which is attached to it from behind by means of a pair of 5/16 bolts and a pair of screws.
The wooden bracket and mounting plate form the motor mount for outboard motors up to 3 HP.

W720 – users and applications.
Big Guys. These users can enjoy extreme stability, a roomy cockpit, and a high saddle seat that’s considerably more comfortable and ergonomic than any other kayak seat. Read a big guy’s review »
Tandem Paddlers (Touring). Typically, two paddlers looking to paddle together in a stable, comfortable, dry, and easy to paddle craft that they could car-top without problems. The W720 is a better solution compared to both canoes and regular tandem kayaks. With two average size paddlers on board, the W720 can carry some gear on board as well, or a small child, or a dog.
Tandem Kayak Anglers. Typically, two guys who fish out of a large size kayak or canoe. Recommended models: W720 or S4, depending on propulsion preference (paddle or motor), and type of water (e.g. flat water, bays, offshore). The W720 is a perfect tandem fishing kayak that works well with a small, lightweight outboard motor up to 3 HP, while the S4 is a high-performance motorboat that works pretty well as a tandem kayak too.
Solo Hunters. There is enough room on board a W720 for a large size hunter, plus plenty of hunting gear including dozens of decoys (see storage video ), a motor, and a dog or two.
Tandem Hunters. Typically, duck hunters and other waterfowl hunters, and their gear. Recommended models: W720, S4. The W720 works perfectly for paddling, and the S4 works perfectly for motorizing, including with a surface drive ( mud motor ).
Families. The W720 is suitable for a couple paddling on flat water together with two young children, and it can be outfitted with an outboard gas motor up the 3 HP.
Boaters. The 720 works very well as a tender (service boat) for a big boat or a yacht. The S4 works better in this capacity thanks to its bigger payload capability and seaworthiness, and the fact that you can tow it behind the boat, which is not advised for the W720.
Solo Kayak Anglers. The W720 is lighter and much more stable than any high-end SOT or sit-in fishing kayak out there. The S4 has a bigger load capacity, and it’s more seaworthy than all kayaks and most microskiffs.
Flats Fishermen. Typically, these anglers fish out of a Jon boat, a microskiff or a skiff, which is a name given to a broad range of small, shallow-draft, stable motorboats that are too heavy to car-top, and can’t be paddled effectively. The W720 is easy to car top even for one person, and unrivaled as a mobile and stable paddle craft. More microskiff info »
Offshore Fishermen. The S4 is considerably more seaworthy than the W720.
Offshore Technical Crews. People working on offshore scientific, engineering and maintenance projects that typically involve the use of Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats (RHIB) or RIB (Rigid-Inflatable Boat). Recommended model: S4.
Catamaran-Dinghy Sailors. For a 1-2 crew. Recommended model: S4.
Speed, Fun, and Adventure Seekers. For a 1-2 crew. Recommended model: Motorized S4.
W720 Owners Reviews »
W720 or s4.
W720 advantages over the S4: Solo kayaking, solo canoeing, light tandem kayaking, light tandem canoeing, portability.
S4 advantages over the W720: Driving, seaworthiness, ocean, tandem motorizing, tandem fishing, stability, offshore trips, load capacity (big guys, additional passengers, heavy gear, powerful motor).
Shallow water – The S4 drafts a bit less than the W720, and it features a skiff stand up casting platform, but the W720 paddles better.
Offshore – The S4 is much more seaworthy than the W720.
Motor – The S4 features a molded-in motor mount and a 1.5″ heavy-duty wooden mounting plate, while the W720 features a 3/4″ wooden mounting plate that’s attached to a wooden saddle bracket inside its cockpit. The S4 is considerably more stable and has a higher load capacity than the W720, and due to all these differences, the S4 is rated for a 6 HP motor and the W720 for a 3 HP motor.
Do you feel unsure? Please don’t hesitate to call or email us. We’re always happy to answer questions about our products and the best ways to use them, and offer more details about performance, outfitting, etc.

Very cool. I want something like this on our lake. The water gets gin clear and I like to sight cast to the bass with the fly rod. This would make it easier.
Pretty cool 👍 i was wondering what kept it from racking with one bolt in each corner but i see the deck pieces are notched to sit in between the beams which would help stop racking ... Was thinking that platform looked familiar then i realized your the surfboard Dude with other boat 😁

The catamaran skiff has two dory hulls connected by a narrow bridge deck that serves as a continuous seat, fore and aft. It is built with 1/4-inch luan plywood from Home Depot, which, at $12 a sheet, is a great choice for a cheap experimental design. The two dory hulls are simple to build, and each of them was put together in a day.
