Description
A leisurely craft from the Edwardian and Victorian eras - days of elegance on the Thames with parasols and wine! we were commissioned to design such a canoe, to be powered by a Gebofa electric 1.6 hp sail drive unit and constructed using modern clinker ply methods. The plans give the computer faired sectional mould shapes which are then erected onto a strong back. Stringers are then let into the moulds and the plank shapes taken easily from the building jig using the stringers as a guide. The hull could also be strip planked. Speed approx. 5.5 knots. Capacity for up to 6 people.
