[edit] Design
There are variants in the design of the coypu depending on the builder. The hull is normally Glass-reinforced plastic construction, with buoyancy tanks front sides and rear. The Centreboard is metal, and the rudder is removable, either fixed (i.e. does not have a downhaul) or with a moveable blade. The composite Rutan VariEze, a home-build light aircraft Glass-reinforced plastic (GRP), is a composite material or fiber-reinforced plastic made of a plastic reinforced by fine fibers made of glass. ...
A centreboard is a form of movable keel on a small sailing boat or dinghy which can be moved to lower the draught (or depth) of the vessel. ...

The downhaul is a line (or rope) which is part of the rigging on a sailboat; it applies downward force on a spar or sail. ...
Most coypu mainsails are normally raised by feeding the luff into the track on the mast, although there are variants that have gunter rig sails A mainsail is the most important sail raised from the main (or only) mast of a sailing vessel. ...
In sailing, a gunter is a wire that leads from one end of a gaff to the other. ...
The mainsheet is fixed to the stern of the boat. A jib is used for normal use and only one size is available. In sailing, a sheet is a line (or rope) used to control how much wind a sail (or part of a sail) gathers. ...

The boat is heavy in comparison with other dinghies, so traditionally they have proved popular at training centres where it is not necessary to remove the boat from the water on a regular basis. However the design provides a stable boat in all weathers which is ideal for beginners- especially juniors. There was also a "Sea Scout" version of the Coypu dinghy[1] Sea Scouts are members of the international Scouting movement, with a particular emphasis on water-based activities. ...
[edit] History The coypu is a rather old design of boat. It is possible to get replacement spares. The design of the boat meant that small boatyards and centres could build their own fleet easily, with assistance from a mould. The design also meant that they were easy to repair, and as a result they have a long service life. Previous centres known to build Coypu Hulls include: Herts Young Mariners Base in Hertfordshire (Last manufactured in 1970's). Hertfordshire (pronounced Hartfordshire and abbreviated as Herts) is an inland county in the United Kingdom and part of the East of England Government Office region. ...
