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

Length - 15'11" (4.85 m).
Width - 30" (77.5 cm). Can be built 4 cm (1 5/8") wider or smaller
Cartop weight - 50 to 60 lbs (23 to 27 kg)
Sail Area - approx. 44 to 65 sq ft (ca. 4 to 6 sq metres)
Displacement - 145 kg

ARTEMIS can be purchased as complete boat or as hull. You can also build her yourself with a kit and instructions in about 100 - 120 hours or some days more if you build from plans.

IX. International Segelcriterium at Kanu Club Hanseat in Bremen, August 27th

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:

At the IIX. Internationalen Segelcriterium 2018, I won the "Hauptgewinn" on Artemis, closely followed by Koos on his ARTEMIS sailing canoe Wolf:

At the VII. International Segelcriterium 2017 I achieved 4th overall with ARTEMIS and was baffled to receive the "Hauptgewinn". Pure magic:
