On this page we show
our JC10 and Woodland sailing canoes and a sample of our canoe yawl
designs. However, please note that most
of our other canoe designs can take a sail plan and many have sail, spar,
leeboard and rudder details included with the plans - these include the
following :-

JC10
|
  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.). LOA 15 (4.58m); Beam OA 36 (.915m); Depth
amidships 13 (.325m); approx weight 60 lbs (27
kg).

50/50 SAILING
CANOE
>>
TOP
|
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 stowshe 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.
LOA 15'
(4.58m); Beam 35" (0.9m); Sail Area 52 sq.ft. (4.89 sq.m); Approx
weight of hull/deck 45lbs (20kg).

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. LOD 1411 (4.53m);
Beam 48 (1.43m); Draft 8/21 (0.2/0.63m); Sail Area 106
sq.ft. (9.84 sq.m); Approx wht. 353 lbs (160 kg). 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.
LOA 17' (5.18m); Hull Beam
3'4" (1.03m); OA Beam 7'3" (2.20m); Displ. to WL 465 lbs (211 kg).
The drawings give the hull panel and frame shapes only so that she
can be fitted out to the clients requirements.
