As new photos arrive I will update this page. If you have set your PT 11 or PT SPEAR up for davits or created a sling or halter you are happy with, please send us some pictures! ptwatercraft@gmail.com works best for photos. Use "PT 11 photos" in the subject line.

Thank you!

Terry designed and built a tear drop camper that includes a special hatch on the forward face to accommodate the PT 11.

My plan is to use the boat for sailing on lakes and rowing on rivers.  Why not simply carry the boat on top of the car?  Partly to reduce air resistance and thus to increase mileage.  (The trailer is designed to sit in the slipstream of my car.). And partly for security.  (The trailer locks; thus I don't worry that the boat will be stolen when my dog and I go on hikes.)

Many thanks for designing such a remarkable craft — and enabling me to build one.

Chesapeake Light Craft Storewide Independence Day Sale!

Suitable for the PT Spear and the assembled PT 11 nesting dinghy

Ideal for the PT 11 when it. is nested and stowed.

Construction details:

This rugged custom cover will protect your PT Eleven when it is nested, hull up.

This custom-fit khaki cover is made specifically to fit over the nested hull of the PT Eleven, providing a “glove-like” fit that is well suited for use during storage or when traveling. The padded reinforcements at key stress points provide extra durability for many years of trouble-free performance.

This product is made from TopNotch® 9, a 100% solution-dyed 7.6oz marine grade polyester with a fluorocarbon finish, creating a fabric that is breathable, reversible and water repellent. The solution-dyed polyester fabric won't fade and provides superior strength compared to other solution-dyed fabrics. Excellent protection against cold-cracking also. The fabric is breathable to help allow interior moisture to escape.

This cover features:

• Khaki color.
• Heavy duty 1/4″ draw rope encased in the hem for easy installation and snug fit.
• Vinyl reinforcements* sewn in at stress points (*when applicable).
• Loops sewn into the four corners for tie-down.

Join seams are folded four-ply with no raw edges. Double-stitching and weather-resistant anti-wick thread are used throughout construction to add strength and durability. Double reinforced tie-down loops are sewn into the hem.

Note, this product is made to order and may take a couple weeks to produce.

Owner testimonial:

Ten years ago, I was anxiously awaiting delivery of my skiff kit and little did I know about the journey I would begin.  I had built a few things from wood like bookcases and a covered deck, but nothing that even approximated the 126 or so pieces of Okoume that I became so intimate with.  I learned much from the process of going to work every day, following your superb directions and asking for help when I needed it.   And as I would often say about the Catboat we owned for 15 years, "...every day we take her out, she teaches me something"  So too, building my Skiff taught me much.

I never would have expected to make a wonderful new friend, Damian...as well as Linda, and a cohort of "boat shed rats" who would enrich my life immensely.  I have learned so much from this experience and always remind myself that many of my favorite books are about what goes on inside boat sheds.

Teri and I recently downsized our lives, and I think it is time to allow someone else to enjoy the fruits of my labor.  The enjoyment and satisfaction I have garnered since I first dreamed the dream of building a boat a decade ago is priceless. And there is nothing that swells the ego quite like being able to say, "....yes, I built her."
