CORACLEBoats can be recreational tools in addition to methods for transportation. While paddling around on a lake or other body of water, a person can find peace and isolation from their typical surroundings.
The coracle design is a very old method of boat building, dating back around 2000 years. Former incarnations of the boat’s covering made it quite heavy, with newer materials the boat’s weight has dropped substantially making it quite portable. The coracle’s ribs and materials can be improvised; the ribs just need to be springy and have some strength to them so you could use slivers of bamboo, thin steel, thin strips of wood, young but long branches or saplings...or something else. The Covering is can also be adapted to a variety of materials such as plastic, leather, fabrics, et cetera. |
MAINTENANCE: Your coracle could get holes or punctures which you will have to fix before th next use.
CONSTRUCTION TIME: If using plastic to cover the body of the coracle, a person could build it in a day. If using fabric, the
time for waterproofing agent requires to properly cure will determine the total time for finishing the construction.
