Reinforced Royalex construction - the toughest Royalex on the market. Shouldered fl are for dryness in a whitewater design. Diff erential rocker enhances turning and acceleration.
A great family canoe with modern styling. The wide 36” beam provides generous stability and the freeboard is a littler higher than the 17’ Tripper for added safety and comfort.
Excels in performance and durability. Sliding bucket seat, deep-dish ash yoke. A high-vol- ume, effi cient wilderness tripping canoe. Extensive customization is available.
Our best whitewater tripping boat, durable with very tough construction, roomy enough for longer expeditions. The rocker, depth and shallow-arch bottom make it dry and manoeuvrable.
Symmetrical, shallow-arch hull. Moderate rocker. The ultimate 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 fl are. Very dry and fast turning yet speedy. Duralite easily handles all the knocks of whitewater.
Classic river runner with a heritage of performance. Dry shallow-arch symmetrical hull with fl are. Paddles light and responsive, full or loaded.
Traditional design based on the Chestnut Prospector Fort model. Versatile and stable with a large capacity. At home on moving water and fl atwater.
Prospector-style hull, good rocker, excellent primary/secondary 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 3-layer polyethylene for only $899.
Enough rocker to provide excellent manoeuvrability in rapids and fl ared ends for dryness and buoyancy. The shallow-arch bottom provides both initial and secondary stability.
A blend of E.M. White Guide shapes and Chestnut Prospector proportions.
Perhaps the ultimate expedition craft. Carries gear for a month or more north of the tree line. Proven on the most remote and demanding rivers. Travels easily in a compact bag.
A fast and nimble river tripper, the Missinabi can competently handle big loads and bigger water. If you are looking for a river tripper that gives you a dry ride this is the canoe for you.
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 aff ord 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, outfi tting.
Available in fi breglass and Kevlar-glass-epoxy construction with diff erent yokes and remov- able thwart/yoke bracket options.
The classic charm of a traditional design based on the Chestnut Prospector. It’s stable, with plenty of capacity for extended trips. Also available in Royalex and Kevlar.
The Prospector is a great canoe for tripping and its rocker allows for whitewater use.
