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) - Okoume Ply
- Sail Area - approx. 44 to 65 sq ft (ca. 4 to 6 sq metres)
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.

Racing
The ARTEMIS sailing canoes were very successful in regattas in 2024: Thomas and I achieved 1st and 2nd place with Artemis and Pippilotta in the 2nd Folding Boat Sailing World Championship in Stralsund in the rigid hull class and 2nd and 3rd place in the Raid Extreme Germany 2024, an endurance regatta over more than 50 kilometers. Furthermore, 1st and 3rd place in the Wednesday regatta for canoe sailors on July 24th in Stralsund and 1st and 2nd place in the 12th International Sailing Criterium of the Hanseat Canoe Club in Bremen. Here is a video (Karsten Hübener) with the last minute of the sailing criterium 2024.
The end of a very successful racing season: at the
11. International Segelcriterium 2023 at Kanu Club
Hanseat, Bremen on August 16th, Koos Winnips came in first in his ARTEMIS sailing canoe Wolf, I followed second in Artemis
and Thomas finished third in his ARTEMIS sailing canoe Pippilotta.
Most sincerely thanks to the host and organizer KCH
for the regatta... and the roaring party afterwards!
The Raid Extreme Germany 2023 took place on August 5th,
2023 in Stralsund. Four waypoints on a 43 km circuit and light, alternating / circulating winds put boats in good favor which
can sail and paddle in any condition at good speed. There were a total of 13 boats at the start, most of them sailing
canoes with em2 rigs.
Koos Winnips came first in his ARTEMIS sailing canoe Wolf, Thomas came second in his ARTEMIS sailing canoe
Pippilotta and I took third place in Artemis.
A report from Hubert Bakker, who went in his sailing pram "Hatseflats", is
here.
Many thanks to the organizer em2 for organizing the race.
In the 1. Folding Boat Sailing World Championship,
organized by em2 in Stralsund on July 29, 2023, I scored the first place with
Artemis in the rating class for boats with solid hull. Second was Ingo E. in a Bavaria Mustang. Third place went to
Thomas on his ARTEMIS sailing canoe Pippilotta.
Many thanks to the organizer for allowing us to take
part in the folding boat world championship with its own rating for fixed boats.
At the 10. International Segelcriterium 2022 , invited by the Kanu Club Hanseat in Bremen at Saturday, August 27th, Koos Winnips was first in his ARTEMIS sailing canoe Wolf for the "Hauptgewinn", followed by me in Artemis and Thomas in his ARTEMIS sailing canoe Pippilotta. A german regatta report is here.
At the 9. Internationalen Segelcriterium 2019, three boats came in at the same time for the "Hauptgewinn": Koos with his ARTEMIS sailing canoe 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 8. Internationalen Segelcriterium 2018, I won the "Hauptgewinn" on Artemis, closely followed by Koos on his ARTEMIS sailing canoe Wolf:
At the 7. International Segelcriterium 2017 I achieved 4th overall with my ARTEMIS sailing canoe and was baffled to receive the "Hauptgewinn". Pure magic:
