International Canoe

THE INTERNATIONAL CANOE IS BY FAR ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING OPEN DESIGN DINGHIES AROUND. WITH ITS UNUSUAL HULL SHAPE AND SLIDING SEAT, THE IC STANDS OUT IN THE WORLD OF SAILCRAFT. THE IC IS A ONE PERSON BOAT WITH A SLIDING SEAT THAT MONOPOLIZES RIGHTING MOMENT. WITH THE IC BEING AN OPEN CLASS BOAT IT, GIVES LESS PARAMETERS ON THE DESIGN CRITERIA THAN A ONE DESIGN BOAT. THE FEW RULES THAT DEFINE THE BOAT ARE: LIMITS OF SAIL AREA, DAGGER LENGTH, SLIDING SEAT EXTENSION AND HULL WEIGHT. WITH THESE BEING THE ONLY LIMITATIONS IT GIVES A BROADER APPROACH TO EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN AND IMAGINATION.
