Canoes & Kayaks

This open canoe has been designed as a simple low cost solution to taking part competitively in the Devizes Westminster race. The hull has an asymmetric shape with a narrow entrance angle to the forward waterlines and with additional buoyancy aft. The...

This is an example of how we can, using our YachtCAD system, change a design from a multi-chine ply hull shape to a round bilged hull shape suitable for strip planking (or visa versa). A client wanted the graceful shape of our Pete canoe—but he wanted...

Ralph has been designed as an open trekking canoe. The client who asked us to draw her up wanted a large open canoe that could take a family safely exploring Scottish sea lochs. She therefore had to handle the short chop and winds that often cut across...

The Tikopian 24 is based on the 18' Waka Ama and uses the same stitch and tape plywood construction process. She has 4 seats plus stowage compartments in the ends of the canoe but can be fitted out in various ways - ie. with more seats and storage. The...

This is the Selway Fisher version of an old favourite - the Prospector type open canoe. The original Prospectors were originally designed in Canada and known as the "workhorse of the North". They had to have a good carrying capacity for all of the...

This canoe is based upon our Waterman 13 which has been given a larger capacity by introducing tumblehome into the topsides and giving her a little more depth—(14”/0.355m) - this makes her excellent for carrying larger loads on a short length and...

This canoe is based on our Christine design. She has a length of 10' (3.05m) and a beam of 26 1/2" (0.67m) with a nice round bilged shape given by having 4 planks per side. There is a buoyancy/storage chamber at each end and she is designed to be used...

The Lillie Canoe Yawl - this lovely craft was commissioned by Tom Dunderdale after reading the series of articles in the Classic Boat magazine on the 13' strip planked canoe yawl Ethel. The idea was to produce a canoe yawl of similar style to those of...

This design is a development of the 18’6” Marathon open canoe with it's easily driven asymmetric hull shape. Beam has been reduced to 28" which is positioned down at the waterline. Like her smaller sister she has 5 planks per side and uses the...

The IC10 - a ply stitch and tape "B" Class International Canoe for Mr. Peter Rhodes-Dimmer - the first hull has been constructed by Alan Powell. The major idea behind this design was to produce an up-to-the-minute hull shape suitable for both inland and...

This canoe is based upon our Baby Raven which is an all round general purpose canoe—this asymmetric version gives a slightly faster craft for single handed use—she would also make a good sailing canoe and would fill the remit of a slightly smaller...
