C2
Ever since we made the old Imperial Cruiser back in the UK (details below!) we have wanted to have another go at building and paddling a C2. Eventually we found a bit of time in our busy schedules, and a spare Saint prototype to start from. So far we have the boat the right shape, and we just need to strengthen her up, put the cockpit rims and internal fittings in and get out on the river. We hope to be updating progress regularly on here so check back to see how we get on.
Back when we were based in Durham, UK, we decided that an old Sith prototype would make a good C2 if we lengthened it a bit and we were facing in opposite directions.... And so the Imperial Cruiser was born. Great fun, but really difficult to paddle on anything other than flat water!
Fast forward to 2010, and our latest attempt. This time we started with an old prototype of the Saint, and a bit more of an idea of what we are after. The finished boat is going to be about 2.5m long, and we have added about 130litres of volume and 7cm to give a width of 73cm.
