Wheelbarrow Boat

In Festival Boats 2024

This is the world’s first stitch-and-glue construction wheelbarrow boat. This isn’t just a good looking, practical and fast pram, but it is also easily transported like a wheelbarrow. A single wheel in the bow combined with an ingenious system of transforming the oars into wheelbarrow handles allows the vessel to be easily transported over land.

This wheelbarrow boat can carry up to two adults and two kids, has three flotation chambers, and the hull is made from ten panels facilitating elegant beauty and dome-like integrity. The vessel is a featherlight 48 lbs (45 lbs without the wheel), which is the lightest pram of its size that we’re aware of. It has been designed to simplify construction as much as possible without sacrificing looks and performance.

And it makes a great bookcase.
