SalesI normally build the Ironbridge style of coracle, like the one in the picture. They are constructed from ash laths, covered with calico and painted with bitumastic paint. The usual dimensions are about 54" long, 48" wide and 14" deep. Weight is about 30 lbs.A completed coracle will cost you £325, plus delivery. It comes with a paddle, so you won't be up the creek. I must point out that coracles are not covered by the
EC Recreation Craft Directive on small boat safety. They
are intended for use on calm, sheltered waters.
Atlantic crossings are not recommended! CoursesMany people prefer to build their own coracle. It's fairly straightforward. If you can use a hammer, you can build a coracle. The easiest way to do this is to go on a coracle making course. On a two day course, you complete all the technical stuff, then do the painting and finishing off at home. A three day course allows time to do the whole process.See the calendar page for dates and venues of courses. If you can't make it to a course, I can sell you a set of building instructions for £5.
