Every Silverbirch canoe is drawn and faired at full size using traditional wooden battens. These graceful lines are then scanned at full size and imported into CAD, where we use them to build highly accurate 3D models of the finished canoe.

This fusion of techniques allows us to develop designs with the speed, efficiency, and accuracy of CAD modelling whilst still retaining all the benefits of traditional, time honoured craftsmanship.

Every canoe is made in our own purpose built production facility in Norfolk by skilled craftsman. Our industry leading quality control system digitally records every aspect of a canoe’s production and testing process, ensuring consistent quality and full traceability of materials.

All new designs undergo a rigorous testing and set up process before production begins. We optimize plastic distribution to ensure boats are as durable and light as possible, and tune the cook cycle to ensure the polymer is perfectly cured. Every production canoe is then tested at QC for peace of mind.
