Browse 10 years of Small Boats: Our digital publication provides in-depth articles that inform, educate, and entertain everyone interested in exploring small boats and the adventures that come with them.
Current Issue: March 2026
In this issue we profile two boats for home building: a traditional skiff and sea kayak with all-around performance; row through turbulent water to find peace and quiet on some Maine islands; learn how to make affordable custom hardware from carbon fiber, fiberglass, and epoxy; review some kneepads and some tie-downs traps; and hear how one man built a Barrowboat to honor his friend’s memory and ended up raising money for children.
