The Classic 18' is based on a traditional design from the River Shannon and can be rowed by one or two or used with an outboard motor. Long and slim, she is easily driven and is ideal for a spot of fishing or just "messing about on the water".

The Classic 18' is built to last, with keel and ribs in oak and elm, planking in sitka spruce, and transom, thwarts and top plank in iroko. She is traditionally built and fastened with bronze and copper nails.
