Patterned after the sailing canoes of the 1800s, the Caillou boat functions like a kayak with the ease of use of a daysailer. Caillou has been making these “better small boats” for 15 years now, giving us the option to sail or paddle. In this world of “the bigger, the better,” a Caillou boat is a nostalgic tribute to the traditional but with a modern twist.
Set sail across the water without having to worry about wind patterns when you return. When it’s time to head home, just furl and stow the rig and bring out the Greenland style kayak paddles. If it’s exercise you want, then start your trip with the kayak and head for the beach. After a sumptuous picnic, you may be too full to padde away. No problem. You can always sail home.
The black fiberglass version shown here is a special limited edition. The deck and hull are solid fiberglass with mahogany trimming. The fiberglass seats, which are not attached to the boat enabling you to use it as camping seats, come with floatation devices. The boat can seat 2 adults comfortably and has a maximum capacity of about 500 lbs. There’s plenty of room to store supplies making it possible to turn your day trip into an overnighter.
This Caillou sailing canoe sells for £5,460 (or appoximately US$ 8,500). Only 5 editions were made of this version so hurry and order your Caillou online now.
