This Rushton-style sailing canoe, like its tandem version the
Ione, is ideal for day sailing
or overnight camping on inland waters. Its decking and cockpit
coaming give additional freeboard enabling it to carry
substantial sail, and its bulkheads provide dry storage for
gear. The Princess utilizes a daggerboard.
|
These replicas of 19th century sailing
canoes are built using glued-lap plywood construction
methods insuring that watertight integrity will
always be maintained. Construction is aimed at
duplicating the appearance of earlier craft, but
taking advantage of the low maintenance afforded by
modern materials and methods, such as plywood and
epoxy.
|
The Princess is of lapstrake construction using the highest quality
marine mahogany plywood available. I use the epoxy glued-lap construction
method in which all plank laps and joints are epoxy glued for maximum
strength, minimum weight, and watertight integrity. There are no internal
ribs which makes for low maintenance and easy cleaning.
