Devlin Design Catalog

This is it! The whole enchilada. A four decade epic of artful boat design. Prepare to spend some time here. This list is for your meandering exploration of the work of Sam Devlin. New boats will be added until this is complete.

Shanty 36

The Shanty 36 gives houseboat living space in a boat's hull because of the pram design - new - one page study plan now available.

Shearwater 38

The Shearwater 38 is a concept design waiting for a reason for being. Not for lack of purpose... After all, this is the result of what happens when two crusty boat guys start talking. It may be just the solution to your dreams of long range cruising.

Snow Goose 16

The Devlin Snow Goose is a remarkably versatile motorboat for hunting, fishing, and just about anything else that you might do with a solid 3-person boat.

Sockeye 42

The Sockeye 42 is a power cruiser for those who appreciate the journey as much as the destination. Part traditional workboat, part fisherman, and a whole lot of luxury hotel.

Sockeye 45

The Sockeye 45 is one of Sam’s true masterpieces. She can cruise two couples in complete spacious comfort for 1500 miles in a strong and seaworthy vessel built for classic style and rugged service.

Sockeye 62

The Sockeye 62 is the ultimate expression of Devlin style cruising yachts, his self proclaimed deck from which to pitch at the end of the battle of life. The room for luxury, the range for crossings, and the ruggedness for a safe passage. All she needs is a couple of cannons to complete Sam's journey to Valhalla.

Tugzilla 26

The Tugzilla 26 is a larger and stronger version of the smaller boats in Devlins tug series, but still maintains the ability to operate in much tighter conditions than a traditional tug.
