Oughtred & Ducktrap kits in USA & Canada - More details...

Jordan Boats will create plywood kits for almost any boat design.  In the past six years we have made up kits for over 50 designs from Selway Fisher, Iain Oughtred, Dudley Dix, Andrew Wolstenholme, Walt Simmons, Conrad Natzio, and several kits for client designs.  

Please contact us if you are looking for a plywood kit for Clinker Ply or Stitch and Tape designs, or need moulds cut for strip plank or cold moulded designs.        

Christmas Orders 2009

For delivery of kits before Christmas, we must receive confirmation on or before 2 December 2009.  Due to the volume of orders we have at present, it is unlikely that we will be able to design any new kits in time for Christmas shipping.

CNC Cutting Services

With our own CNC router, we are able to cut most non-metallic materials to your specification.

Some of the items we have cut recently are the MDF parts for an Exhibition Stand in Barcelona, Plastic lettering in for a Signmakers company, a three dimensional landscape model cut in foam, designer logos in acrylic sheet for shopfitters. 

The biggest project we've done was the stage screen for The Royal Lyceum Theatre's "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe".

 We are also testing Woodcarving 3D objects.
