Construction Plans & Pricing
Construction Plan Examples
The construction plans supplied by Schionning Designs are mostly CAD-drawn sheets taken from our full 3D model for accuracy.

Please be aware that plans are NOT included in the price of your kit and will need to be purchased seperately.
Often when we are working on a custom design for a client that is going to be professionally built, the plans may be Hand Drawn by Jeff, there are a number of reasons for this - the main being that experienced Schionning-recommended builders know our designs and systems and therefore require less instruction and merely the bare technical information. So depending on your experience and needs, we regularly tailor the supplied design package.

FISHING

A hard-top cover provides much needed shade when out on the water, as well as plenty of space to work while remaining extremely stable in even the largest swells.

SPORTS
The Growler 710 VT Sports is the ultimate run-about for waterskiing, wakeboarding, or simply taking out friends and family for a day on the water. With plenty of seating for 6 passengers, or more should you require – you won’t have to leave anyone at home. Perfect for loading the camping gear and taking off up rivers, creeks and inland waterways, as well as extremely seaworthy for those adventures that take you out into the ocean swells. Easily beached, just raise the outboards or anchor and swim from the transom. Depending on your needs, a small 12v fridge (and port-a-potty) could easily be fitted to keep the beer cold while lazing on the beach. This is a new take on the ‘bowrider’ style, with good looks, extraordinary speed and fantastic fuel economy.

CUDDY CABIN
The Growler 710 VT Cuddy is our third option for the ultra-efficient registered VT (Vapour Trail) hull shape used on the 6.5m platform. She boasts a surprisingly roomy cabin, with a double berth from which a table extends to create a dinette if required. A small fridge, small gas cook-top and port-a-potty can also be installed if desired. This little weekender is perfect for inland lakes or skipping out to the islands at a top speed or 45 knots (depending on engine choice). Exceptional ocean going ability is a key feature. The Cuddy can also be trailered and stored in the driveway during the week. Built from balsa-core Duflex panels, this tough little cat is perfect for those weekend trips with friends and family or a romantic retreat with a partner.
Prowler 1500
Prowler 1500
The Prowler 1500 is a semi-displacement power catamaran design, following a more traditional style in comparison to some of the more modern power designs such as the growler series.
The bows have been kept quite square and sharp, and the cabin features large wrap around windows and angular styling. The foredeck runs forward to the front of the bridgedeck providing a wide spacious area for sunbathing, enjoying a glass of champagne or giving storage space for dinghy or other cruising toys.
The layout is open plan and offers a surprising amount of interior space and accommodation due to the Prowler’s wide hulls—significantly wider than that of her Alaskan sisters. This extra width does allow a little more freedom when configuring the layout and combats the ‘stuffy' enclosed feeling that being down in the hull can bring.
The Prowler 1500 is a large displacement hulled cruiser that will sleep 4-86 family or friends comfortably. She has a very large light ‘n airy galley and saloon allowing full-size appliances. The cockpit is also designed for entertaining, cooking, toys, and fishing. The flybridge is generously laid out which could also covert into a premium berth. The upper deck also has wide possibilities for storage or entertaining.
The Prowler 1500 is a large displacement hulled cruiser that will sleep 4-6 family or friends comfortably.

Radical Bay 1060
Radical Bay 1060
The 1060 would make a fantastic small cruiser and couple safely carry you and your crew to any tropical destinations.
The Radical Bay 1060 is the bigger sister to the 8000, and provides that little step up in accomodation, space and performance. Again a standard rig is an option, however the composite bi-plane carbon masts are still the recommended configuration.
Unlike the Radical Bay 1060 has a spacious hard-floored cockpit with ample seating for all the family and friends and comes with the option of either single aluminium mast or bi-plane rig.
The Radical Bay 1060 has a very usable interior with a tidy galley area, a head and shower aft port-side and accommodation for 6 people - 2 double and 2 single bunks. A small dinette doubles as the second double bunk with a fold down dining table.
The Radical Bay 1060 utilises strip planking construction to provide a cheaper, quicker and easier build. The boat can be transported in a shipping container in three sections should transportation be necessary. Whether you're looking for a simple, fun weekender or a light live-aboard, you cannot go past the Radical Bay 1060.

Radical Bay 800
Radical Bay 800
Schionning Designs Radical Bay 800 is a small weekender or coastal cruising catamaran, that still has enough sea-keeping ability to cross an ocean or two. The bi-plane rig provides amazingly easy sailing. which truly must be witnessed to believe.
A standard rig is an option and is at the owner's discretion. There are a number of Radical Bay 800's on the water, and many have done very well in racing events in Australia and Asia.
For the Radical Bay 800, I have chosen a simple hull form, with a vee section forward to stop slamming running aft to a flat exit to reduce hobby horsing. The asymmetric hull shapes as used on most of our designs benefit the boat in a number of ways.
The layout is surprisingly comfortable for such a small cat especially with good speed being kept in focus: the fwd bunks are comfortable and an aft "double" can easily sleep two friendly people. I have added a cockpit in each hull, the cabin offers some protection but mostly to have a comfortable sitting position with good visibility protected from those annoying unexpected splashes that sneak up through the tramps now and again.
She is definitely the future, an amazing looking, fast, exciting, simple and cheap to build cat. No such thing? True until now. She is a very safe, easy to handle coastal cruiser, a little cat a couple could live on for months at a time and yet easily demounted to transport anywhere if sold.

Schionning Designs International presents the Arrow 1201 Catamaran,
The Arrow 1201 promises the same sailing experience and performance of the 1200 version yet with a revised interior and cockpit giving more options.
The Arrow 1201 has the same layout to the Arrow 1280s : 4 berths and 2 heads. Other layout options include twin owner’s hulls, or Stbd owner’s hull with Port guest hull, or 5x berths & 1x head/shower. See more details showing the 3 cabin version with stbd owner’s hull and port guest hull. The helm options are: Central Raised Helm (shown), bulkhead helm (twin or single), or dual tiller steering. The Stbd berth has been widened to be a full queen with great volume inside. This required a reshaping of the cockpit compared to the Arrow 1200. The Navigation table is now cleverly in the saloon allowing closet shelves below in port hull.
