What is different and better about our plywood kits?

Our plywood panels are provided with key-lock butt joints, the inner panel edges are beveled, and all of the wire holes are pre-drilled for you! We also provide hull brackets so that your hull will be exactly the design shape. This means you gain accuracy and speed in the assembly process.

These kits now include sappele plywood!
