Editorial:

Selling boat plans, boat kits and building materials on-line since 1993 Bateau.com continues to provide top of the line support for its customers. If you have launched a boat built from our plans this Spring or Summer and would like to include it in our launchings section, please contact the bateau webmaster.

Remember builders, please use plan names and keywords in the gallery and forum. This helps people find the pictures and building threads. Rename your pictures when you download them from your camera so that the name includes significant keywords.
