| We have launched a new site dedicated to canoes and kayaks - go to www.makeacanoe.com where you will find the full range of SFDesign canoes and kayaks plus many more builder's photos of our canoes and sections specifically on strip planked and stitch and tape canoe construction - you can order canoe and kayak plans from this site or the makeacanoe site but you will find a lot more info about our canoes on the new site including a very useful FAQ's page on canoe building (costs, building times etc) and a page on canoe "bits and pieces" - ie. rudders, seats, leeboards, rigs etc. |
| 12' ASYMMETRIC STRIP PLANKED BABY RAVEN | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
So far this is the smallest strip plank canoe we have designed - although we do know that strip planked version of our Little Kate design have been made simply by using the mould shapes we give for clinker construction and putting a curve through the chine points. The ply Baby Raven is one of our most popular designs and in this case we have been asked to develop the full-size mould and construction details for a strip plank version of the asymmetric version. She makes a delightful personal single canoe. |

The
ROBIN is a design requested by a client who had already built one of our Wren
stitch and tape ply canoes and who wanted a similar craft in strip planked
construction with a sweet round bilge shape. The basic parameters for this
design are similar to those of the Wren but we have taken the opportunity to
introduce some tumblehome into the sectional shape making her wider at the
waterline beam than at the gunwale edge. This makes her very stable and easy to
paddle. We have also fined down the ends a little so that she tracks well. |

| EXPLORER 15 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
This design is a slightly smaller sister to our Explorer 16' open strip planked canoe - in this case we have used a similar hull design with a 'U' shaped mid body with plenty of tumblehome in the topsides making her easy to paddle and very stable. Construction is from 5 or 6mm Cedar strip glued edge to edge over a building jig. The jig uses mould sections which are computer faired and given full size on the plans. She can be set up for single use but the drawings show seats for up to 3 people. |

The above example is by Jordan Boats - go to www.jordanboats.co.uk The Explorer 16 is a strip planked canoe with fine lines towards the bow and stern running into an easy 'U' shaped mid body. She has tumblehome in the topsides which make her easy to paddle and which puts the maximum beam at the waterline giving excellent form stability. She has a moderate rocker of 2" (50mm). Construction is from 5 or 6mm Cedar strip glued edge to edge over a building jig - the moulds for this are given full size on the drawings along with full details for setting up the jig. Seating positions are shown for up to 3 people but she could be adapted for single use and she has optional buoyancy/stowage in the ends.

| 16' STRIP PLANKED PETE CANOE | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
  
The example right is by Jordan Boats - go to www.jordanboats.co.uk This is an example of how we can, using our YachtCAD system, change a design from a multi-chine ply hull shape to a round bilged hull shape suitable for strip planking (or visa versa). A client wanted the graceful shape of our Pete canoe—but he wanted to build in Cedar strip—so these plans include full-size mould shapes and strongback/jig details for the strip method. She has the same dimensions with a LOA of 15’6” (4.7m); Beam of 36” (0.92m); and midships depth of 13” (0.33m). Her weight will be around 50lbs (23kg). We can supply Pete’s sail plan if required. |
