Asymmerical design can be paddled from a tractor- style seat while switching sides or from a traditional seat with the boat heeled. Paddles even better than it looks.
Excellent “pocket” tripping boat for paddlers with the need for speed. Same asymmetrical shape and elliptical hulll, but with the lowest sheer in the line. Also available in BlackGold.
The narrow 31-inch beam and slight rocker make it manoeuvrable and ideal for solo or tandem paddling. Because of its size it is more responsive and lighter than most 16-foot canoes.
A shallow-arch bottom makes this tripping/cruising canoe stable, and the slight tumblehome makes it easy to paddle. Standard with bucket seats, sliding bow, adjustable footbraces.
Asymmetrical, shallow-arch hull with sharp entry and exit lines. A fast tandem boat. Contoured web seats. Hardwood yoke. Many lay-up, colour and trim options.
The Cruiser is a great performance boat. It’s extremely fast, carries a heavy load and is dry in large waves.
Langford’s finest asymmetrical canoe. Capacity, acceleration, manoeuvrability, tracking ease and seaworthiness make this a great performance canoe.
The canoe that has set standards for versatility and seaworthiness. Equally adept as a day tripper or expe- dition hull, on flat or moving water, rivers, streams or lakes, open or confined.
This cruiser is a fast, easy-gliding canoe, with excel- lent tracking characteristics, making it a superb open water performer. The volume makes this canoe a great choice for trips.
Weighing an easily portagable 65 lbs, the Penobscott 17 is well-suited for lake touring and downriver racing. With a capacity of 1,100 lbs it has lots of room for paddlers and gear.
Perfect for solo or tandem rides. Equipped with a cen- tral built-in cooler seat and nautical grade cushions.
An impressive performer whether you are with a partner or solo. The lines of this responsive canoe sym- bolize the influence of a more contemporary design.
The Winisk is our staff’s tripper of choice. It’s a fast, seaworthy tripping canoe that’s also a capable recreational racer. Many options are available.
Available in fibreglass and Kevlar-glass-epoxy construction with different yokes and removable thwart/yoke bracket options.
A very fast canoe for its size. The Escape accelerates quickly and has amazing glide. There’s plenty of vol- ume for all the gear you’ll want to take on your trip.
