BETH Sailing Canoe
Designed by Michael Storer
BETH is a plywood sailing canoe: long, narrow and light. The designer's figures are 15 ft 6 in in length, 32 in in beam and 70 lb (32 kg) for the hull in gaboon plywood.
She is a boat for a sailor who enjoys a lively, responsive craft. The light plywood hull is easy to move around ashore, and the narrow beam that makes her quick also means she rewards attention. Builders who want more beam from the same designer can look at the 40 in wide Viola 14.
What building a BETH Sailing Canoe actually takes
Medians from the build logs kept on this site, not the designer’s estimate. Nobody has logged this boat here yet, so they are empty until the first builder does.
Those medians firm up as more people log this boat.
