New Boat Design: Newt by Jordan Wood Boats~ Attention: Teachers and Mentors- 

The wood boat plans and  wooden boat building manual featured on my website have proven to be highly effective teaching tools for use in industrial arts classes, boatbuilding schools, adult education, and a variety of community and youth development programs. Activities that challenge both hand and mind, teach valuable occupational skills, encourage teamwork and cooperation, and result in a product that inspires a sense of pride and accomplishment can be valuable academic and community resources. My boat plans are all designed for the amateur boat builder, and by using my book as a guide, the instructor requires no prior boatbuilding experience. And, there are many opportunities for interdisciplinary instruction because building a wooden boat typically involves a host of related skills. For more information please use the “Contact Us” link on the navigation sidebar.

~ Easy-To-Follow Plans- All of the boat building plans from Jordan Wood Boats are developed and drawn with the non-professional builder in mind, and require no lofting. They include large-scale construction drawings for all assemblies and full-size patterns where needed. Comprehensive construction notes describing all components are number-keyed to the corresponding assemblies in all the drawings. Also included for each boat are diagrams for a simple, inexpensive building jig that allows the boat to be securely set up and assembled without fear of something going adrift.

~ Help Available- When you embark on a Jordan Wood Boats building project, you are always welcome to call, write or send email with questions about your project. We will do everything we can to make your boatbuilding experience fun and rewarding.

Happy Sailing,
Warren Jordan
