For Sale

Sailing Canoe based on Iain Oughtred’s MacGregor design.

Dimensions:
4.8m x 0.82m (15ft 8” x 32”); wt.: 32kg approx.
Construction:
Built 2009 in 5mm marine ply, epoxy clinker with 7 strakes per side. the entire hull is sealed with 2 coats of epoxy and 4
coats of enamel; topsides clear varnished. Laminated keel/stem; mahogany gunnels (with spacers); two thwarts; watertight storage
fore and aft. Complete with rudder, Rushton dagger board, cover and all spars for yawl rig. Dark green hull.
Special details:
a) A nicely designed outboard bracket (detachable) to take 2.5hp motor (available separately).
b) The Rushton style of daggerboard is set well foreward and allows the board to swivel and so vary the CLR.
c) Auto pump aft operated from a 12v battery located in the foreward hatch.
d) The gunnels have inwales and outwales separated by spacers giving the craft a very pretty traditional appearance. Adds
strength and permits easy draining.
e) Included in the price are two detachable outrigger arrangements based on plans from Fyne Boats:.
1. An outrigger on one side only - suitable for river or canal use; (outboard motor mounted on the other side).
2. Outriggers on both sides making the boat massively stable. This makes the boat very stable even in rougher
waters and would allow a more ambitious sail plan. For this reason the sail plan is left to the buyer although full details of the
standard sail plan are available. The spacing of the outriggers and distance of the floats from the boat allow normal paddling. The
boat may also, of course, be used as a simple open canoe without outriggers.
f) The boat is light enough to carry on an estate or van roof top (I can just lift it above my head) but comes complete with
a new trailer, jockey wheel and electrics.
g) Anchor and chain, and double and singe paddles included.
Owner selling to make way for the next boat.
Total package price: £1500 - can deliver.
Available at extra cost: 2.5hp 4 stroke Suzuki - just run in - £300

16ft marine ply sailing canoe built by me 10 years ago to plans I'm afraid I have forgotten the source of.  Hugely enjoyed for two or three seasons by myself and my teenage children, who have now all left home. 

It has been carefully stored in the hope that one day it will be needed to amuse us again.  Space constraints have dictated that it must go to others, to amuse them instead.  It is all there and ready to go, complete with 2 paddles and a selection of life jackets, large and small.

 

10 square foot of gunter rig and about 24 inches of beam, sailed semi recumbent with a foot operated rudder may not be blisteringly fast, but it is hugely entertaining and (in light airs) quite peaceful and relaxing.  In anything of a blow it can only be described as pretty exciting!

 

Sealed buoyancy chambers fore and aft with additional flotation material under the gunwale make it quite unsinkable.  If outriggers were added I suspect it would be more civilised and faster.

 

Light as a feather I usually carry it into the water to launch and sling it on a roof rack to transport.  Sail can be rigged and struck sitting in the boat.

 

Buyer collects from Gloucestershire (between Monmouth and Coleford).  £250 ono

Outrigger sailing canoe with adjustable Bruce foil
I am a former OCSG member who dropped out some time after moving to Norway. However, I now have a sailing canoe for sale.


The boat is a Raptor 16 (www.hydrovisions.com) with a hand controlled Bruce foil which pushes the outrigger hull up when to lee and pulls it down when to weather.  It is the expedition model with roller reefing around the mast, a Kevlar strip down the bottom, and a “sidecar” for carrying camping gear or (on smooth water) a passenger.  The boat sails faster than most dinghies, and paddles better than my Ally folding canoe.  The weight is 55 kg, light enough that I can carry it into the water.  The heaviest part, the main hull, weighs 25 kg, thanks to being built in carbon fibre sandwich.  I have written about my first sailing experiences with the boat in The Gossip.



The reason for sale is that I have sailed the boat only about ten times since I bought it three years ago, only twice last year.  Given where I can store the boat, from the time I decide to go sailing until I am on the water takes three hours, from the time I decide to stop until I am home again four hours.  If I could, as I had hoped, go beach cruising for a few days at a time, that wouldn’t be so bad.  Unfortunately, I neglected to check whether there were any beaches where I could camp, and it turns out that there is nothing within sailing distance from my launch site.  The wind is rarely good enough that a few hours of sailing is worth a total of seven hours of mucking about before and after.  So when I had a good offer of a boat just big enough to sleep in, meaning I can at last do some cruising, I bought it.  Therefore the outrigger canoe is redundant.   Any prospective buyer could come and try it out ie borrow the boat for a holiday.  If they don’t like it and haven’t damaged it, they return it; if they damage it, they are committed to buy. 

The boat is currently in Germany, here:

This boat cost £5000 including transport, duty and VAT from CA, USA -  looking for £2000.

Stunning Sailing Canoe.

£500.00

The time has come for me to sell my much loved sailing canoe. Owned by myself for approx 2 years I have had the time of my life sailing her on Coniston water and Bala (Wales).

The original builder is now a partner in Solway Dory; she was then owned by a member of the Open Canoe Sailing Group before I purchased her....... believed to be built around 1995.

Clinker ply construction, high quality light weight ply wood, decked with buoyancy chambers, 2 large access deck hatches.

Includes rudder and twin asymmetric dagger boards, single 43 sq.ft. una rigged Bermudan sail, 2 piece mast, custom paddle, Supersuck self bailer. Also lightweight, custom launching trolley that dismantles for easy transport.

Pleasurable and exciting to sail. Although not really suitable for a complete novice, (unless used with outriggers available from Solway Dory) can be quickly learnt and enjoyed.

The only reason for this sale, is that my son has moved on to Toppers at our local sailing club.

For Sale - NOW SOLD
