Campion herself - a stable and roomy double ender as tough and welcome to the eye as her namesake - sea campion.  Designed to be sailed with internal ballast - either lead shot or pigs, sandbags or even water ballast - this is a powerful dayboat - much more powerful than the original style of slim, low freeboard canoe yawl, but more in keeping with the larger, more heavily ballasted and rigged half-deckers that later evolved - that can be man-handled relatively easily as the ballast is simply removed for maintenance or trailing behind a small car.

Campion herself: 16’ x  6’3" double-ender, heavy displacement canoe yawl.

A four plank aside stitch and glue internally ballasted day boat.  125 to 150 kg of lead, sand or water ballast, removable for trailing.

Hull, fittings and rig: 135 kg or approx. 300 lbs; working displacement: 400 - 600 kg.
