Coracles are very simple vessels, consisting of a basketframe, a seat and a waterproof cover. There are no hard and fast rules for their construction and as such, every coracle is unique. Measurements can be adapted to meet the needs of the user; different materials can be used depending on what is available.
Below we detail how an Ironbridge coracle can be built. Many thanks to Terry Kenny for providing his instructions to use in this guide. Measurements are for guidance only and will build a boat for the average adult
