Coracle Building!

Friday, September 2nd 2011

On the 21st and 22nd September we have coracle expert Dave Purvis visiting to lead a course on the construction of these traditional lightweight boats.  The second day will also provide a chance for you to have a go at sailing in a coracle!

The cost of this 2 day course is £150 at the end of which you will have your very own coracle to sail away in!  If you are interested in participation please contact one of the Reserve Managers as soon as possible (places are limited) on 01748 831113 or 07754 270980.

They are beautiful crafts. I wish I could have joined you. Am I correct in assuming that the structure is willow? What is the skin made of?
