Iceni 14: a four plank a-side fast, powerful, lug sail multichine beach cruiser or day sailer with a choice of rigs.

 

 

 Campion Sail and Design

The Iceni 14 is the big brother to the 12 and modelled along similar lines, but providing more room, stability and speed with its length of 14ft 6 and beam of 5ft 3. It ia a powerful, well-balanced dinghy for day sailing or open boat cruising. Like the 12, this boat is designed to be as docile sailed heeled as bolt upright, very forgiving yet highly manouvreable.

 

Renderings of the hull can be seen at the bottom of this page and photos of the 12 elsewhere - click on the image above for the link.  A version with a large single balanced lug has been drawn up for light wind areas, river sailing and general pottering, as well as one with standing lug main, sprit mizzen and foresail - which, whilst having more area, offers numerous reduced sail combinations - and was a popular rig for small open fishing boats in the days of sail and oar in a number of English coastal areas. This latter rig is also to be the standard version for the 17 and 19. A straight-forward standing lug una rig is also included in this. The cockpit layout has been arranged so that it would be very easy to provide an off-the-floor, out of the bilge sleeping area for the camp cruiser.

 

Plans for the Iceni 14, including the single sail balanced lug version as well as the yawl sail plan and single standing lug version, consist of six A1 sheets of drawings and some 30 A4 pages of keyed construction detail, an outline building procedure, offsets, strake offsets and frame offsets.  The cost of the plans is £53 - 53 pounds Sterling. Postage and packing is £3 UK, £5 airmail overseas.

Study plans of the layout, yawl rig and balanced lug version are available together on an A1 sheet. Price is £6.00 plus 50p p.p.  The cost can be deducted from the price of the actual plans if these are bought at a later date.
