Woods Designs specialise in the design of sailing catamarans for both home and professional builders.

At Woods Designs we have always believed that designers should build and sail their own boats. As a result, since 1980 we have built a total of 18 catamarans, ranging from a 14' beach cat to the 35' performance cruising catamaran Banshee.

Founded in 1981 we now boast possibly the largest and most comprehensive range of catamaran designs in the world. Designs range in size from 14' to 70' and types include beach catamarans, open deck cruising catamarans, bridgedeck cabin cruisers, racing catamarans and trailable boats. Boats can be built in a range of materials of which the most popular include sheet ply, cold moulded ply, strip plank cedar and foam sandwich.
Over 1200 plans and over 200 production catamarans have now been sold. Boats are sailing all over the world. Cruisers have made many comfortable ocean crossings in complete safety while the number of trophies won is testament to the speed of the racing designs.

Boats have been built in sheet ply, foam sandwich, strip cedar as well as several catamarans built using grp moulds (that have also been built by us). Most have been built in our garden, and all with very limited tools and boatbuilding skills. So we know at first hand the problems that home boatbuilders face. The resulting boats have been used as full size test bed for new ideas, while, of course, building the boats ourselves helps ensure that the plans are fully detailed and that backyard builders can build them. If you do not want to build yourself and are interested in having a catamaran built for you then a number of yards round the world build either grp production boats or catamarans on a one off basis.
