The B & B yacht designs Bay River Skiff almost fits this (not sure
about the planing aspect, but with a boom tent, it works as a small
camper). It uses an easy to sail cat ketch rig. Its at

They also have a few other designs you might consider, although you do
get up above 15' for any with a cabin. There are several guys
building the Core Sounds, but they are more involved than the Bay
River Skiff.

I am looking for a design for an easy-to-build camping boat that has
the following characterisitcs:

1. 14-16 foot, lightweight and beachable
2. Simplist plywood construction possible
3. Cat rig
4. A mast that hinges down for motoring
5. Ablity to plane with small outboard motor

Some covered stowage area and floatation would also be nice.

Has anyone seen ready-made plans for anything lile this, or something
that could be easily modified to suit?

Thank you for your reply.
