There are drawings on this page, please read the following while they load:

This design has been designed for steel or aluminum construction. It has a full displacement, semi-displacement or planing hull and can be built as a family cruiser or as a rugged work boat. The chine hull has provided an excellent overall hull shape and plating has been calculated to provide easy construction with minimum wastage.

This design was prepared for operators in the North Sea and therefore the boat had to a rugged and safe sea boat. The full displacement hull makes for economical operation and has been designed to operate around the 7 to 8 kt cruising speed range with a 60 hp engine.

Amateurs with welding experience should have no problems building this vessel using the full size frame patterns which come with the plans, and the straight forward, step by step instructions.

New Coastworker 30 - family version.

COASTWORKER 30
 Fisherman / Workboat

Hi, My name is Bob Fuller from Littlehampton West Sussex in the UK. Got to say your plans were a doddle to understand and fabricate.

We finished the boat recently and everyone who has looked at it agrees that whilst remaining practical it is one of the prettiest looking charter/trawler boats around as discussed with you previously we intend to market the boat and continue to use your hull design as our base, adding our own features and that of our future clients.

You can see what we have achieved using your plans and our skills. I hope this is of interest to you regards Bob Fuller

 Euro Coastworker 40 kit
This Coastworker 30 is being built by Graham in Gympie, Queensland. Inside has already all blasted and primed. When building upside down this is a good thing to have done before turning. The deck can then be made from plates blasted and primed on one side and then the entire outside can be done as one lot after all the welding is finished


Stringers notched into frames. Also shown in this shot is the skeg that has been designed to protect the prop and rudder from damage.


Working first one side then the other The hull plates are laid and tacked onto the stringers


Fully plated up bow section. Be sure to only tack weld plates until entire hull is plated


Last plate waiting to be laid on


Fully plated. Notice split pipe rubbing strake, a good thing to incorporate at this stage.

Rolling the hull over. Plenty of old tires required here. Graham is now working on the engineering, deck and superstructure. We hope to bring you more photos as he progresses towards launch day.
