Canoes and Classic Boats

14' Lapstrake

This canoe is designed to be an all-rounder.  It is essentially a solo canoe but constructed with two seats so that two adults can use it.  It is lightweight making it ideal for use on out of the way rivers and streams where the boat must be carried a distance.

Designed with a slight rocker, a moderate hull curvature and low fore and aft profiles it handles well in most conditions.  It is ideal as a solo boat with its combination of light weight, manoeuvrability and room, with plenty of space for gear.

The hull is constructed from plywood sheeting with the gunnels, seats, decks and buoyancy chambers in solid timber.  Depending on preference, seats may be either solid wood, cane or woven webbing.

The boat comes with tender lines and carry lines.

Storage ports can be added in the buoyancy chambers if desired.

16' Lapstrake

This canoe is also designed to be an all-rounder.  It is fitted out as a tandem canoe but handles well as a solo boat.  It is lightweight and easily carried by two adults, although it is more than manageable carried solo using the central thwart yoke.

Designed with a slight rocker, a moderate hull curvature and low fore and aft profiles it handles well in most conditions.  With two paddlers its combination of light weight, manoeuvrability and tracking make it an excellent general purpose boat.
