Viola 14 Sailing Canoe
Designed by Michael Storer
Viola 14 is a sailing canoe drawn to do the job of a cartop sailing dinghy. She is 14 ft long and 40 in wide, and the designer gives a hull weight of 75 lb (34 kg), light enough to go on a roof rack.
The hull is built from four sheets of 4 mm plywood, and Storer recommends gaboon to keep the weight down. With more beam than a paddling canoe she can carry a real sailing rig, while staying narrow and light enough to launch and handle alone. A good fit for a solo sailor without a trailer or a place to keep one.
What building a Viola 14 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.
