In step with Le Nantucket from France, here’s a little less expensive option for $11,000 (rather much more affordable) than the French beauty. Luxury boat builder, Cailou, has exclusively crafted a limited edition designer canoe, only 5 of them, for 20ltd only. This beautiful black fiberglass sailing canoe features a fiberglass deck with mahogany trim, molded fiberglass seats with floatation cushions, carbon fiber mast, and a Dacron sail rig with carbon fiber batons. Impressively blending time-honored form with contemporary style and materials, this unparalleled water vehicle renders performance without sacrificing ease…ease of function, ease of transportation, ease of handling.


Weighing just 100lbs, this sleeker, lighter kayak version can comfortably accommodate two full sized adults. Also the sitting furniture is movable so you can arrange it as per your convenience. Featuring a retractable centerboard and a carbon fiber mast, the sail can be reefed for those blustery days. There is plenty of stowage on board the boat – so day trips can even become overnights for the more rustic amongst us.
