design have been completed and are in service world-wide. The boat plans
and frame patterns are easy to follow and you can build this boat in

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

FAMILY VERSION
The boat plans for the CW 30 now include a family
version as shown above and on left. You have a choice between a V drive or
stern drive installation - or if you modify the interior lay-out to
suit, you could have a conventional drive with the engine box in the
salon - could double as table.

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

Almost ready for trials. The clean lines of the Coastworker are apparent
in this photo.
FROM THIS OVERSEAS CUSTOMER:
My name is Vitavat from Thailand,
In 2002 I and my dad,Suchin, had
built CW30 ,pictures shown in your web site the one we cut aft
section down, using your boat plan.
We have been very satisfied with design ,performance
and capacity for our fishing task.
In 2020 I carried out major maintenance some steel
plates changed, replaced wooden deck and upper structure with aluminum.
Pictures attached.
I am considering building one more CW30 that lighter
and faster with aluminum. Please advise.
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.
Fully plated up bow section.
Be sure to only tack weld
plates until entire hull is plated
Working first one side then the
other the hull plates are laid and
tacked onto the
stringers
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.
