Classic sailing and rowing open boat
DECKED SAILING CANOE
Harbour Boats
- 4.27m 
14' 0"ft
The one in the pictures was built using Core-cell for the hull and marine plywood decks as the customer wanted this canoe light enough that he could carry alone. The finished weight of this canoe, including the mast and sails is 75lb.
The mast and boom is solid mahogany hand crafted by us. the rudder arms are also mahogany with the rudder blade and housing constructed from marine plywood.
Unlike other sailing canoes on the markey, this one has a centreboard again constructed from marine ply. This again was the customers choice as he did not want to use a dagger board.
The sail for this particular boat was made using ripstop nylon/polyester fabric again to keep the weight low. The weight of the sail and mast was important in this instance because of the weight balance with the light weight hull. We did find when finished that this craft could safely take a normal weight sail and mast, which we would recommend for these boats.
