Newmarsh 12 Open Canoe
Length 3.81m (12' - 6"), Beam .864m (2' - 10"), Height Fore & Aft .559m (22"), Height amidships .330m (13.5"), Dry Weight of around 21kg (45lbs). Maximum Load 182kgs (400lbs), Crew 2
Designed for a day trip or just some fun on the water and to be paddled while kneeling or possibly sitting on the bottom, as I do, but can be fitted with simple plywood seats.
Easily moved about on dry land by an adult with one hand using the centre bar/yoke. Just as easily carried by two people to the water.
Once on the water you will find this canoe performs well and is relatively stable. It is ideal for a solo paddle but will do just as well with two adults.
This canoe was designed to be built using the Stitch & Tape and Clinker ply methods but the kit is supplied to be built using the Stitch & Tape method.
It can be built in either 4mm or 6mm plywood but the kit is supplied in 5mm and when finished, is a very good looking craft - in my opinion.

Designed for me to go canoeing with my eldest two in their Peasemarsh 10's. Although I could have used my old Peasemarsh 16 that would normally carry me, my wife and the two youngest, I wanted something different just for me so, I designed the New Bay 11 having liked the performance of the 15 previously during trials. The 11 did not disappoint. It was easy to build and performed as I wanted. This is actually my favourite canoe.

Fairlight 406
Loa 4.06m (13' - 4"), Beam 1.05m (3' - 6"), Dry Weight (approx.) 45kg (89lbs), Height fwd 0.575m (1' - 10.7"), Height aft 0.480m (1' - 7"), Height Amidships 0.415m (1' - 4.3"),
Crew 3 or 4 adults
This is a unique boat in ability - paddle, row, motor or sail it!!
A lightweight boat for its size - being far lighter than a similar fibreglass or plastic canoe.
You can choose to build the paddling & rowing, motor or the sailing version, the choice is yours. The paddling & rowing version has no hole for the rudder/engine and no dagger board case. The motor version has the addition of the hole for the engine and a suggested battery position. The full sailing version has the hole for the rudder, the mast support and dagger board case added.
Performance wise, while one adult can paddle this boat, it is far easier and moves better with two - one forward, one aft. Rowing her was easy and she moved along nicely without too much effort. We only had an old 12v electric outboard with 24lbs thrust to test her with but this proved to be ample. It was a pleasant glide down the canal and she was responsive when it came to turning and manoeuvring. She performed well even with the small sail and the dagger board case didn't get in the way. The tiller configuration took some getting used to but it worked well. All in all, a great all round boat.
