The River Stour Coracle is designed primarily for fishing
with nets and riding to anchor for fly fishing and is constructed to
be safe and very stable, as well as fast for making way against wind,
the seat is wide and comfortable for long trips of up to 6 hours.
The River Stour Coracle is suitable for recreation,
cruising and adventure, wild life observation etc, taking a good payload
for river picnics with a passenger or dog.
The cowhide is very tough and durable and you can beach
the Coracle at a stony place without fear of making a hole in the bottom.
The frame, seat and fittings for fishing are made from Ash wood which
is cut from the tree by myself, the cowhide is prepared and cured by
myself also. To build a coracle usually takes 1 month as they are made
with extreme care and are very high quality - a coracle for life.
Another good use for the Coracle is as a workboat for
rivers, moats and lake maintainance. As a riverkeeper I use the River
Stour Hide covered Coracle for these purposes as well as fishing. I
also make Canvas covered coracles, both types are usually made to order,
however there are stocks of both types available now - perfect for that
ideal unique Christmas present.
