| The example below has been built using the strip plank technique by Peter Robinson who took the chines frame shapes given on the drawings and basically put a curve through them to give a round bilged hull and deck shape. Note the use of outriggers/floats rather than a sliding seat. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The
JayCee was conceived with Tyrone Boats as a trainer for the International Canoe.
The idea was to produce a craft which was based upon low cost, easy building
techniques and which would be an introduction into the world of IC sailing. With
all this in mind, the hull is made from 4mm ply using the stitch and tape
process.
She has a simple sliding seat and the rig is based upon a grp sailboard mast with a sleeved sail so keeping the need for specialist fittings and gear down. However, there is enough gear to enable the helmsman to 'tweek' her performance with a Barbour Haul arrangement for the foresail sheet. An exciting craft which may in the future form the experimental model for a new stitch and tape 'B' class version of the IC10! LOD 15'6" (4.73m); Hull Beam 2'11 1/2" (0.9m); Sail Area 56 sq.ft. (5.17 sq.m).

| WOODLAND 15 OPEN SAILING CANOE | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
This is a
clinker/ply open canoe with graceful lines. We have given the hull shape a
fairly fine entry so that she glides on the water and also a good waterline beam
to allow her to carry a substantial rig for open canoe racing. She has 5 planks
per side which are 4mm thick to keep her weight down. The plans give full size
templates for the moulds (sections) to be used on the building jig and details
are shown for the clinker/ply construction process (please note that we can also
develop the plank shapes if a builder wants to build her using simple stitch and
tape methods).
She can of course be used without the rig as a roomy and stable open canoe to take 2/3 adults but she was designed very much with fast and efficient sailing in mind and to this end, full details are given for the add-on leeboards, rudder and rig which has an area of 43 sq.ft. (4 sq.m.). Below is a nice example by Scott Herrick who build her 93% size. |

| This design has been drawn up for Bill Serjeant (who has made the example above) and you will be able to see her progress under the 50/50 Sailing Canoe Page on his web site at https://www.smallsailboats.co.uk | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

A 50/50
canoe is a boat which has been designed and built with the intention
that it should be as easily and efficiently powered by sail as it is by
paddle (in this case a double paddle). This means that the rig needs to
be both efficient and easy to erect and stow—she can use any of the
rigs we have for our canoes but the one detailed on the plans is of a
batwing type with spars which can be hinged to lie along the mast so
that it can be stowed inboard when not in use. The cockpit is wider than
normal for a single crew member so that the crew can sit on the canoe
bottom out to one side when sailing. Construction is simple stitch and
tape using 4mm plywood. There are stowage/WT compartments fore and aft. |

| ARCTIC SKUA CANOE YAWL | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The Arctic Skua is a lightweight canoe yawl that has a nod towards the small canoe yawls that were popular in Europe during the last century for touring and racing. She uses 4mm ply and the stitch and tape method of construction to produce a easily built stiff and lightweight hull. The board is offset to one side with the case forming the front of a side tank leaving the cockpit clear of any structures. Areas under the fore and aft and side decking can be used for storage and floatation. The rig has simple standing lug sails on unstayed masts. Note - the drawings now include the panel and frame shapes for a Mark 2 version with an increased beam of 36" and a small duckpunt type transom (optional). |

CANOE YAWLS We have 3 Canoe Yawls under 20' in length which are dayboats (see our page on Dinghies & Dayboats). We also have a 22' LOD Canoe Yawl which has a cabin and berths (see our page on Yachts). |
Here is an example of our smaller Canoe
yawls :-
|
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 the last century used by Baden Powell and MacGregor and which formed the basis of modern canoeing today but using modern ply/epoxy construction methods with computer generated plank shapes. Her length is based upon the maximum length of plank that you can get out of 2 sheets of ply and we have increased the beam a little over the original Ethel design which allows more extensive cruising and even the ability to sleep on board. She uses 6 sheets of 6mm and one of 9mm ply in her construction. The standard set of plans show details for stitch and epoxy construction using 7 planks per side to give a beautiful round bottom hull shape and details are given for her to be fitted out in classic style with a lug yawl rig. The plans include mould shapes and construction details for her to be made using the strip plank method. Tom reports that up to a force 2 she will sail herself both before and into the wind hands off allowing the helmsman to drink his beer in comfort. Above that, she handles herself with grace and she rows very well with excellent tracking. Plans also include mould shapes and details for strip planking.

| IC10 INTERNATIONAL CANOE | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

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 river use bt made using simple stitch and tape techniques.
The drawings give the hull panel and frame shapes only so that she can be fitted out to the client’s requirements. |
