Canoe Kits
We currently only offer the Peasemarsh and Dengemarsh canoes as kits.
Other canoe designs can also be cut on request.
See the Stitch & Tape boat building method building a canoe here.
Peasemarsh 8
An easy to build canoe 8' at 7' - 7" (2.31m) long and 2' - 2" wide at it's widest point which will take a paddler weighing up to 11st (70kg). It takes around 20hrs to build from the full kit and you can have the hull stitched together and the first stage of the gluing done on the same day you receive it. A great little fun canoe.

A great project for 2 adults to build and get out on the water after around 30hrs to build time from the full kit. Ideal for a day out on the water or a camping trip. It goes together easily with a simple plank joining method to get the length you need.
Peasemarsh 14
A great project to get up to 3 adults paddling after around 40hrs build time from the full kit. Ideal for a day out on the water or a camping trip. As with the 12, it goes together easily with a simple plank joining method to get the length you need.
Dengemarsh 10
Length 10' - 0" (3.048m) Beam 2' - 9" (0.813m) Depth (midships) 1' - 0" (0.305m) Height fwd/aft 1' - 7" (0.483m) Dry Weight (approx.) 38bs (17kgs) Crew 1 Adult or 2 Children
The Dengemarsh canoe is based on the Peasemarsh but with an extra plank which makes for a slightly rounder hull. An open “Canadian” style canoe along the lines of the Peasemarsh design but with an additional plank each side. There is optional buoyancy fore and aft using the bulkheads and enclosed with a flush fitting deck, both supplied. It goes together easily and quite quickly and once completed, looks good and gives good performance on the water. Designed to be paddled with 1 adult or 2 children while kneeling but a seat(s) could be fitted.

Dengemarsh 12
Length 12' - 6" (3.81m), Beam 2' - 9" (0.84m), Depth (midships) 1' - 0.5" (0.32m), Height fwd/aft 1' - 7.5" (0.49m), Weight (approx.) 44lbs (20kgs), Crew 2 Adults #
Built-in buoyancy is supplied fore and aft using bulkheads and decks fitted with small hatches for storage of valuables etc. It takes between 30 and 40 hours to complete. This canoe is ideal for a solo paddle but will also take 2 adults and some gear for day trip or weekend camp etc. or perhaps a day on the water for the kids. It goes together easily and quite quickly. Once completed, it looks good and performs well on the water too.
