Build Your Own Fulmar Sailing Canoe at Overwater BoatsWe are delighted to have teamed up with Sailing Canoe experts Solway Dory to offer Sailing Canoe Building Courses using their proven Fulmar/Curlew hull. We've worked hard to optimise the design of the Fulmar to come up with an ideal sailing canoe that is a delight to sail and build! Key features of the design include:
seating positions for sailing solo and 2-up All the building work will be done during the course - the only tasks to do after the course will be painting, varnishing & then installing fittings - you can do this yourself at home after the course - or by arrangement at Overwater Boats. We are offering the Sailing Canoe Building Course at an introductory price of £2,300 - this includes everything needed to complete your sailing canoe: all materials, fixtures and fittings (except paint and varnish), sail, rudder, lee-board, and tuition and support throughout the course. Included are:
robust purpose designed portage/launching trolley - easily carried on-board in the cockpit or rear compartment Our first Sailing Canoe Bulding Course in 2016 is scheduled for 23rd to 29th April 2016, and we plan to run more courses later in the year, so if these dates don't suit you please get in touch - we are happy to add extra dates for this course. Our Fulmar sailing canoe demo boat is available to view, and to try out on the water. If you'd like to see the boat or go for a test sail please get in touch. On the Facebook page you can view photos of the Fulmar being built and launched (you don't need to be signed up to Facebook to view these):
There is also a great article about the Fulmar in Barnacle Bill Magazine.

The deck includes all the mounting points for the outrigger beam so this can be added easily after the course. **The Solway Dory 54 sq foot Bermundan rig is available as an option for experienced sailors |
