17' CLC Waterlust Sailing Canoe (2019) - FRY

Sail- and pedal-powered sailing canoe for cruising.

The design takes its cues from classic sailing canoes of the late 19th century. Dillon has added a higher volume hull with fuller ends for increased carrying capacity, stability, and performance under sail. The hull design includes watertight compartments fore and aft, watertight storage forward of cockpit, and stowage bins port and starboard in the cockpit that double as support rails for the seat. The cockpit extends under the aft deck, and may be used as a berth for the crew. The boat is powered by a lug yawl rig, which is traditional to the type and easy to manage, too. She can be easily reefed all the way down to a simple lug rig with the mast moved aft.

Among the more unique features of the design is an integrated Hobie Mirage Drive for auxiliary power. This drops into a trunk in the cockpit.
