International Canoe Class National Championships 1 - 4 September 2016

The roots of the class go back to the mid 1800's where paddling canoes where fitted with sails and raced, particularly in Britain, USA and Sweden. These boats have changed quite a bit since then but the main characteristics of the boat is a long narrow hull form with rounded transom and the famous sliding seat.

After many decades of development around the world including some famous designs from Uffa Fox, the hull shape had evolved into an optimal design based on the rules at that time. In the 1970's the class agreed to create an International one design hull shape based on lines drawn up by a Mr Peter Nethercot. The development of deck layout, fittings, rig and seat were still able to be developed within some broad rule definitions. The IC then became a stable platform and enjoyed worldwide status at the fastest single handed monohull in the world.

GP 14 National Championships 20 - 26 August 2016

Originally designed by Jack Holt in 1949, the GP14 is easily recognised by the distinctive bell on the mainsail. This is thought to be a reference to the legendary bells of Aberdyfi, North Wales, where Jack Holt is alleged to have designed the GP14.

The boat was initially designed with a mainsail and small jib as a comfortable family dinghy. The jib is still available, and it can be particularly useful when using the boat to teach sailing or for lighter crew weights, but these days the GP14 is more commonly seen with the full rig of mainsail, genoa and spinnaker.

In the early 1990s a new internal layout was introduced, with built-in underfloor buoyancy. One of the great benefits that this introduced is that following a capsize the boat comes up with very little water in it. This has been further modified in the following years, led by boat builders Alistair Duffin, who builds in wood, and Speed Sails, who manufacture in glass reinforced plastic (GRP) and fibre reinforced plastic (FRP).
