Worth knowing

Janusz Maderski; cover, cost and conditions

Janusz Maderski is a Polish designer rather than a production builder. He draws boats meant to be built by their owners and supplies what that takes: plans, guidance on method and lists of the basic materials. Construction is in plywood. His best known design is the Albatros family, a touring class motorboat available in several sizes; the larger versions are deliberately drawn in the style of the first half of the twentieth century. You recognise these boats by the straight hard chine hull lines made from flat panels, the tall cabin and the plain finish that an amateur builder can follow.

Our model records list 45 Janusz Maderski designs: 22 sailing boats, eleven sailing yachts, seven motorboats, four motor yachts and one sailing catamaran. Recorded build years start in 2013 and run into current production. Forty five series are recorded: the Albatros in 590, 623, 660, 700, 850, 900, 1000, 1000S and 1350; the B 800; the Barge Pilot 1300; and designs with Polish names such as Dziesiatka, Osemka, Gafa and the Pasja models 375 and 10. Lengths run from 2.5 to 18 metres, half the designs between 5.1 and 10 metres. The number gives the length in centimetres.

A boat built from plans carries no yard serial number and no type plate, so its papers are the build file: the drawings, receipts for the materials, photographs of the work and, where one exists, a survey. Plywood also has a habit worth knowing: bonded in epoxy it lasts a very long time, and where the epoxy is broken it does not.
