Well, this is a boat for the
purely insane or totally inebriated!, and it is an example
of the wide range of boat designs that we are asked to produce
from clients all over the world. Basically, she is a slightly
thinned and greatly stretched Waterman
canoe and with her side float is designed to take 10 hefty
paddlers for what is becoming a popular (if not spectacular)
canoe racing event.
She can be built in 3 sections
which are bolted together and the plans also show details
for a simple 2 masted sailing rig which can be stored on the
cross beams. She is very adaptable and the centre section
can be left out producing a canoe which is 24’ long
rather than the full 40’. Construction is simple stitch
and tape using pre-shaped ply hull panels.
