Reinforced Royalex construction - the toughest Royalex on the market. Shouldered flare for dryness in a whitewater design. Differential rocker enhances turning and acceleration.
A great family canoe with modern styling. The wide 36” beam provides generous stability and the freeboard is a little higher than the 17 Tripper for added safety and comfort.
Excels in performance and durability. Sliding bucket seat, deep-dish ash yoke. A high-volume, efficient wilderness tripping canoe. Extensive customization is available.
One of the best wilderness tripping canoes available. At home on flatwater lakes, large slow-moving rivers and the more challenging whitewater rivers. Predictable, dry and fast.
Symmetrical, shallow-arch hull. Moderate rocker. The ulti- mate hybrid canoe-run a river or cross a lake. Contoured web seats. Hardwood yoke. Many lay-up, colour and trim options.
The Slocan is the ultimate whitewater tripper. It has 3.5 inches of rocker and lots of flare. Very dry and fast turning yet speedy. Duralite easily handles all the knocks of whitewater.
Classic river runner with a heritage of performance. Dry shal- low-arch symmetrical hull with flare. Light and responsive, empty or loaded.
Prospector-style hull, good rocker, excellent primary/second- ary stability, fast, large volume.
Considered by many to be the best wilderness tripping canoe design ever, also available in Royalex. Also available in a roto-moulded three-layer polyethylene for only $899.
Enough rocker to provide excellent manoeuvrability in rapids and flared ends for dryness and buoyancy. The shallow-arch bottom provides both initial and secondary stability.
Prospector design with sharp entry and exit lines-no centre keel. Shallow arch, ash seats and centre thwart yoke. Optional plastic padded seats w/backrest and aluminum thwarts.
Exclusive XcelCore™ hull offers superior flotation and durabil- ity. Ash-webbed seats, ash yoke, rod holders, aluminum gunwales with protective sleeves and carrying handles included.
Perhaps the ultimate expedition craft. Carries gear for a month or more north of the tree line. Proven on the most re- mote and demanding rivers. Travels easily in a compact bag.
A fast and nimble river tripper, the Missinabi competently handles big loads and bigger water. For those looking for a river tripper that gives you a dry ride.
Great boat for a combination of whitewater and wilderness tripping.
The Dumoine will amaze you with how it can thread its way down rapids you never thought you could run. At home anywhere, it’s great for whitewater paddlers who can only afford one boat.
Heavy-duty Royalex, tough gunwales, extended 16” decks and deep-dish yoke make this the Black Feather guides’ choice for expeditions. Optional spray cover, skid plates, outfitting.
Available in fibreglass and Kevlar-glass-epoxy construction with different yokes and removable thwart/yoke bracket options.
Perfect for big brawling wilderness rivers. A very capable, capacious canoe. It’ll hold a heavy load for extended whitewater trips.
