Snake River 12 sailing canoe
Snake River 12 Canoe with sailing rig
I have reluctantly decided to sell my Snake River 12 sailing canoe. She is not getting the use she deserves and is too good to lay idle. I bought the hull from Mel at Snake River and lovingly built her up 2yrs ago. She has ash gunnels and seat, cherry deck plates and a paracord sliding seat. All other fittings are ash. All screws/bolts are stainless steel. I have fitted fore and aft buoyancy bags. I did not lace these in as I did not want to drill the hull. I have included some links to the build below. The canoe sail was made by Freeman Sails in Padstow and is approximately 20sq ft in size and is based on the scaled down dimensions of a Solway Dory bermudan sail. The mast is made from marine grade anodised aluminium tubing and splits into 2. The boom is from an Optimist dinghy. I custom fitted all of the rigging components based on a Solway Dory Avocet I used to own. A lot of thought has gone into making her fully functional. The sail reefs around the mast as per Solway Dory. The lee board and thwart and rudder are from Solway Dory. The mast thwart is drilled for a Solway Dory outrigger beam. She sails surprisingly well and I have had her out in some strong winds without capsizing but she is only a small, narrow boat so you have to be realistic on what to expect her to do. With some outriggers she would be a very nimble and stable boat and could probably handle a bigger rig. I do have a 44sq ft Solway Dory bermudan rig I could also sell if someone was interested. I have made a ply removable deck to make her more seaworthy. She can be easily carried and car loaded, which was my main reason behind building such a small canoe. I would prefer to sell her with the sailing rig but will consider selling the hull on its own if she does not sell as a whole. She has only had light use and is pretty much as new. She is fully sorted and ready for the water. I will include single and double bladed paddles and a trolley. I am located in Wadebridge, North Cornwall but can arrange for the boat to be viewed/picked up from Poole, Dorset. I am looking for £750 for the canoe and sailing rig but am open to offers. Message me for more info or pics.
