Welcome boatbuilders and dreamers.

This Web Site is dedicated to Clarence Van Abbema, My Father, who passed away April 1st, 2004.  Without his support and encouragement, I would never have had the guts to attempt a project like this.

Mark V Designs specialized in classic fuel-efficient power boat disigns for the home builder. 

See WoodenBoat #167, page 86, for an article about the Mark V 39.

I started building the Mark V 39 in the beginning of August, 2000, and it was launched early September, 2001.
My Dad started building the Mark V 20 in October, 2000, and it was launched in November, 2001.

Building plans for both boats are  available.
