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. |
