What makes the sailing canoe unique for me is the possibility of being on tour for days or weeks with manageable
means. With a good wind, I can paddle distances under sail that I could never do. To spend the night I only need a piece
of grass or a beach to spend the night, because there is enough room to sleep in the sailing canoe.| Language and Social Media |  |

ARTEMIS Sailing Canoe
Sail when you can, paddle when you want
Fast cruising canoe or lively sports equipment? Both? You decide. ARTEMIS is as easy to sail as to paddle:
- a cruising canoe for one person
- with camping gear, food and water
- a fast planing canoe
- for successful endurance rallies and raids
- a paddling canoe for one or two persons
- Sufficiently stable to be sailed without outriggers
- light enough to load her on a roof rack without help
- ARTEMIS Mk II: 16'9" (5.10 m) x 30" (76 cm)
- ARTEMIS: 15'11" (4.85 m) x 30" (77.5 cm). Can be built 1 5/8" (4 cm) wider or smaller
- Displacement - ARTEMIS 145 kg, ARTEMIS Mk II 155 kg
- Cartop weight - 50 to 60 lbs (23 to 27 kg)
- Sail Area - approx. 44 to 65 sq ft (ca. 4 to 6 sq metres)
ARTEMIS Mk II can be purchased as complete boat or as hull. You can build ARTEMIS yourself with a kit and instructions in about 100 - 120 hours or some days more if you build from plans.

Again, ARTEMIS sailing canoes were very successful this year. This is partly due to their design, but mostly thanks to
the excellent sailors who love their boats and use them a lot. So, there was much to celebrate once again at the
XIII. International Segelcriterium in Bremen.
Thomas surprised everybody by sailing his new ARTEMIS Mk II "PIPPILOTTA 2" right into the 1st place. Congratulations!
May always be fair winds with you, and many thanks to the Kanu-Club Hanseat
for the regatta!

Racing 2018 - 2022
At the X. International Segelcriterium 2022,
invited by the Kanu Club Hanseat in Bremen at Saturday,
August 27th, Koos Winnips was first in WOLF for the "Hauptgewinn", followed by me in
ARTEMIS and Thomas in his ARTEMIS sailing canoe PIPPILOTTA.
Besides of the video of the event, a german regatta report is here.
At the IX. Internationalen Segelcriterium 2019, three boats came in at the same time for the "Hauptgewinn": Koos with WOLF, Peter from Switzerland with his home-built sailing canoe and I on ARTEMIS. The last minutes of the race were nerve-wracking:
