Based on our Burmarsh and Peasemarsh designs the New Bay Open Canoe has been interesting to design and a joy to test.
It will be available as a single plans package that will detail how to build it as a paddling canoe and adding the sail rig. Plus, details for building it in two halves to allow it to be built in smaller workshops and for easier transportation.
As much at home being paddled as sailing we have found this to be a fun, capable canoe for one or two people to enjoy.
It can be built to paddle first and the rig added later or can be built as the full sailing canoe and, as the rig is de-mountable, you can use it as the mood takes you on the day.
The plans include both the paddling and basic sailing versions.

The plans contain Full Size patterns for hull sections, A3 sheets with drawings and dimensions where applicable, plans manual with materilas list and step by step instructions plus paddle plans and seat fitting details.

About Us - STANLEY SmallCraft

We've been doing what we do for 35 years now designing and building small boats plus producing DIY plans and quality kits allowing you to build your own boat.

We don't just leave you to get on with it either. We are available by email/text/phone/even WhatsApp to assist you if you get stuck or help you with customising your boat with your own ideas.


Whatever you are looking for, DIY canoe building plans, DIY dinghy building plans, build materials or perhaps some chandlery for your boat, we can help by either supplying it or pointing you in the right direction. 

​

We can help and advise you with your own project too and even cut it for you.

​

A lightweight plywood dinghy or canoe makes for an easier and cheaper, boating experience.

In the 8' to 10' range of boats, fibre glass dinghies, moulded plastic canoes and inflatables are all heavy and/or cumbersome. They require trailers to move them about on land and larger powered outboard motors to move them on the water. Some canoes can be carried on a roof rack but are heavy to lift up there and carry to the water.

​

Our plywood dinghies and canoes are designed to be lightweight, sometimes half the weight. A 10', 12' or 14' plywood canoe can be easily carried on a roof rack and can often be put up there solo as can an 8' dinghy. 10' dinghies and larger canoes will probably need two to move them about more because of size than weight.

Being lightweight, crew distribution is important to keep the boat balanced. They only need small, lightweight outboard motors which also helps to keep costs down.
