The course
Over 4 days, you will build a beautiful ‘Lakelander’
canoe. This is our very own design and has evolved through extensive
builds and useage of a great number of canoes over the past 15 years.
The Lakelander has graceful lines, whilst retaining a good load
carrying capacity and a confident ‘sea-worthiness’.
Your canoe can be lifted and carried by one person and will be easily
transported on the roof of a car. For longevity, you will be using
canoe - grade plywood, with ash gunwales, thwarts and seats. All
seams will be reinforced with epoxy resin and fibre glass tape.
The canoe allows plenty of space for kit stowage, dogs, kids, picnic
hampers etc..
Prior canoe
building and woodworking experience...
The beauty of building these canoes, is that they can be built by
complete novices. The stages of construction are very straightforward
and progressive. Basically, that means you won’t get bored
with elaborate phases of laborious monotony. Don’t forget...
we have had plenty of time to eradicate those time consuming errors.
Staff
Our highly experienced team have built countless canoes all over
the world... take a look at some of our videos if you need clarification.
We will be on hand to help with the stages of your build.
Many hands make light work, and as such, you are welcome to bring
along friends or family to assist, just let us know beforehand.
3 Day option
If you have limited time, just let us know. We can cut your 'build
time' down to 3 days.
Completion
Yes, you can take your finished canoe for its maiden voyage, on
the River Derwent that glides past the workshop.
Location
This workshop is held in the North Lakes, near to Keswick.
This area has plenty of cheap camp sites, B&B's and hotels.
