Description

Great for tandem day-tripping or the solo paddler with a high skill level, this rugged canoe is at home on calm waters but can run rivers with the best of them, even when loaded down with gear.

Key facts
  • Straight keel line and sharp bow entry reduce friction in the water, and the rounded bottom provides turning responsiveness
  • 3-layer polyethylene offers excellent stiffness, high durability and light weight at an affordable price
  • Center yoke thwart offers manageable solo portaging while polyethylene decks with molded handles facilitate 2-person transport
  • Webbing seats are comfortable and long-lasting; stout ash thwarts and anodized-aluminum gunwales enhance rigidity
