 Are you ready for the ultimate sailing challenge?

        USA 245

The IC is simply one of the fastest singlehanded boats afloat. This derives from its unique design, adopting the narrow hull form inherited from its ancient canoe origins, together with the famous sliding seat.

For 2009, the exciting canoe format has now been extended to allow for different interests;

Asymmetric Canoe (AC) -  representing the largest fleet in the UK, the AC is based on the Nethercott hull design with asymmetric spinnaker. Hull shape is strictly one design with the freedom  to vary rig, foils and deck layout within specified limits. The main rig on the AC is limited to 10 square metres but the asymmetric spinnaker size is unlimited. 

New Rules IC (IC) - the new rules canoe is no longer restricted to a one design hull shape and can be developed within a broad set of defined box measurements. Sail area is still limited to 10m2 but a single mainsail una rig is now permitted.

There are many ways now to enjoy modern canoe sailing, offering plenty of challenges and excitement.

As with all things in life, the greater the challenge, the greater the reward. Once the canoe is mastered, you will experience one of the most exhilarating thrill that sailing can offer.
