With two Viola 14 Sailing Canoes recently launched in Hungary the two skippers were filmed dancing around each other spinning like racing dinghies though they are actually are fast and elegant homebuilt plywood sailing canoes built from a boat plan.

Yesterday after working hours we had a sailing on Lupa Lake. Two Viola 14 and a oz Goose took the foam in the light of the cool day. The wind was mild, but it’s right to make the new viola. They went well.
VIDEO – Light winds and three good light wind boats = Dance
The Oz Goose Camera boat is no slouch at all in the light – a lively box – but the day belongs to the Viola Sailing Canoes sailed by Jenő Juhász and Anulu Első.
The sails are quite different – sails are difficult to appropriate in Hungary. The conventional triangular sail is from a local type of sailing dinghy and looks a good fit. The squaretop is made to the dimensions provided by me but is still being worked on. Looks like it needs a fair bit more luff round to match the bendy mast.
