Description

Lenght 4.44mDesigner: Paolo Lodigiani and Matteo CostaChine hull, Stitch&Glue construction – or – Round hull, Strip-PlankingconstructionBuilding Skills: amateur

The DRIADE cannot be truly considered a real canoe, but rather as a rowing boat, ideal for those who wish to train for rowing with a simpler, more versatile, easier to handle and cheaper boat than the typical rowing skiffs – which are much longer and more difficult to handle. Of these, the DRIADE maintains some features such as sliding seats and outriggers, but has the advantage of being easily transported on top of a normal car. The boat is quite stable to be used also for touristic excursions, although this was not the original reason for which it was devised. Speed is closely linked to its floating length and is not that of a real canoeing boat, but thanks to its streamlines, lightness and rowing efficiency, it is much faster than a normal rowing boat of the same size. Both the chine and round version have similiar characteristics.
