B&B designs fast, stable, trailerable boats that amateur builders can actually finish — and then sail hard. Plans, CNC kits, and the supplies to see it through.
We stock what we use ourselves. Every product chosen because it works in our shop, on our builds.
Graham Byrnes trained as a shipwright in Australia, circumnavigated in a boat of his own design, and settled on the North Carolina sounds forty years ago. The designs that followed are built around one principle: if you're spending the time and money building a boat, it should reward you beyond your expectations.
Wide, flat sterns and shallow-V hull forms that plane well beyond theoretical hull speed. Six Everglades Challenge Class-4 wins and two course records prove it.
High bilges, wide decks, generous beam — boats that are forgiving in open water. A cat-ketch rig you can reef with one hand.
Inspired by Meade Gougeon's standard — every plan set and CNC kit is designed so the process is clear, the parts fit, and you end up with a boat.
