Kombi Sail and Paddle Canoe
Designed by Michael Storer
Kombi is a canoe meant to be both paddled and sailed, 4.74 m long on a 34 in beam. She is built from three sheets of plywood, and the plans allow anything from 4 mm to 6 mm (5/32 in to 1/4 in), so the builder chooses between lightness and cost.
That choice shows in the weights the designer publishes: an estimated 21 kg (45 lb) in 4 mm gaboon with light 2 oz glass, about 25 kg (55 lb) in 5 mm with glass tape, and 65 to 70 lb in 6 mm. The first boat built weighed 26.5 kg. Storer recommends light glass only where it is needed. She suits a paddler who wants to add sail without giving up a boat that still paddles.
What building a Kombi Sail and Paddle 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.
