Ephemera
back

This 2man sailing canoe was especially designed for longer coastal trips. As benches are placed centrically, it easily glides through the waves, offering, between watertight bulckheads, sufficient storage for sleeping bags, tent, cooker, provisions, etc. forward and astern.
The lugsail with reefing gear will not let you down even in strong winds.
Should you wish to build the canoe just for one long trip directly at your holiday destination, and have already prepared rig, sail, centreboard, and all bits and pieces at home, as well as lined out the sketch onto wood, the Ephemera can be built in only one day.
The plan consisting of accurate patterns of all important parts, also offers an illustrated building instructions – this boat can also be built without any special knowledge in handcraft!
