A high-performance cruising canoe with classic good looks and top-quality workmanship and materials.


Our Prospector is the perfect all-around lakewater tripping canoe. It handles large waves very well, and is fast and straight-tracking.


Modifi ed Prospector design with straight sides, shallow-arch bottom and moderate rocker for stability, easy paddling and good tracking. Many options and colours are available.


Ideal canoe for stimulating day-use or extended get-away-from-it all vacations. Paddles quick empty or loaded with nice measure of manoeuvrability to balance tracking performance.


Traditional design based on the Chestnut Cruiser Cronje model. The quintessential tripping canoe, it is at home on fl atwater and also capable of serious river tripping.


The “all-around” canoe. Rockered, shallow-V hull, great stability, volume and handling.


This Cruiser is a fast, easy-gliding canoe, with excellent tracking characteristics, making it a superb open water performer. The volume makes this canoe a great choice for canoe trips.


Very effi cient for tracking and easy to turn. Great stability and capacity for tripping. Comfortable in moderate whitewater. The Haida 17’ is a longer and wider version.


The Koru marks a step forward in canoe design. The Koru’s tumble- home, dramatic recurve and fi ne entry and exit points make the Koru a quick and comfortable canoe.

The Myth is the embodiment of everything a canoe should be, performing well tandem or solo, in whitewater or fl atwater. The true “jack-of-all-trades” is born.


A custom-built, beautifully handcrafted wooden canoe. Weighs only 53 lbs with optional lightweight Dacron covering. Solos well and is a good lakewater-tripping canoe.


Shouldered fl are for enhanced paddle placements, diff erential rocker for easy tracking and manoeuvrability. Our best-selling de- sign. Very effi cient and extremely light. In Royalex and Black Gold.


You don’t have to paddle across the country if you own one of these canoes, although some people have. Greater carrying capacity for more kids, dogs and of course more stuff !


Clipper’s most popular model. Deep-dish ash yoke, sliding bucket seat and adjustable foot brace are included. Optional wood trim available. Anodized aluminum trim standard.


At only 59 pounds the longer and wider Mistral 17’6” has unbeat- able load capacity for its weight. The rigid Twintex hull makes a perfect lake tripper.


Asymmetrical, shallow-arch hull with sharp entry and exit lines. Fast, stable and responsive. Contoured web seats. Hardwood yoke. Many lay-up, colour and trim options.


Moderately-rockered keel line. Symmetrical. Shallow-arch cross- section. Tumblehome waterline confi guration. Custom built.


Stable, durable, lightweight and roomy.
