Plans for sale to build your own canoe
A full set of drawings showing the hull lines, full size stem, sternpost and construction mould outlines are available to purchase. Full construction details and notes for the hull and rig come together with a sail plan. These will enable you to build my version of J.H Rushton’s Princess model using glued clinker ply construction. You will require five sheets of good quality marine plywood . You will also need care, time, space and some basic woodworking ability, but it might still be worth considering this design, even if it is your first boatbuilding project.
