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.

Full plans are also available for the
16ft version. Lines and offsets only for
larger versions are available, including
17 ft and 19ft versions. A yawl rigged
version of the 19 is under consideration.
The 14's renderings are pictured below.
