Another Canoe video - sorry (not much)!
This one is wood, minimum weight and is designed for the hull to be homebuildable with hand tools only, a cnc precut kit job. There's a write up here. Edited by JimC - 08 Apr 15 at 9:10pm |

I shouldn't be surprised if something could be arranged if someone wanted to build one in the UK. We do already have a CNC precut Canoe build setup in the UK for an entry level IC - see Damesblonde. Things like spars and foils could certainly be locally sourced to save shipping.

Nice boat but to traditional for me. I've had a Nethercott before and as much as I would like another, if I were building one from new I'd rather start with something more cutting edge

Ian, you need to consider that the IC in the video is built to the new rules, weighs 50kg all up and is probably quicker than the ACs. I think Dave's kit boat is awesome for a homebuilder. |

I've posted clips from this video before. Here it is in it's entirety.
The 1985 Solo Worlds at Pevensey Bay. The weather is lively with big seas. It's the early days of camcorders so the quality isn't too good, still watchable though. It's also back in the days of clinker built safety boats. Skip forward to 4.30 and 7.32 for dumpy launches: Edited by transient - 13 May 15 at 9:48pm |

Here's another. The International 14 worlds in 1983.
Please bear in mind that this video (and the Solo one) were taken on a very early camcorder by an non professional enthusiast. The first camcorders available to the public were retailed in 1983 by Sony. While much of the video has a holiday home video look that's only interesting to current PBSC members there is some interesting historical stuff contained within. Mr Morrison is racing in this, I believe PBSC was his home club at the time. 14 buffs will no doubt recognise other names of the era. The footage was made available by a club member a couple of years ago and it has now been converted to digital. Some very short clips from this vid were posted here a couple of years ago. The whole vid is now on youtube (obviously). The quality does not stand close scrutiny so probably best to avoid full screen unless you're standing a fair distance from the monitor. On the water @ 5.00 (if you want to cut to the chase) It gets progressively wetter and windier. Very wet and windy @ 13.50 Edited by transient - 14 May 15 at 3:47pm |
