The Princess

More pictures of the Princess can be seen on my Photo Gallery page.

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.
