The Scout is fast and seaworthy. It has moderate rocker and a fl ared bow and stern. It tracks well on fl atwater yet can handle class III whitewater.
Easily managed by one paddler on the water and on the portage. Good tripping model. No keel with moderate rocker for very good manoeu- vrability. Black cherry trim.
Lightweight, strong, and fast. Capacity, acceleration, manoeuvrability, tracking ease and seaworthiness make this a great performance canoe.
Versatility defi ned: A river playboat that’s no slouch on the fl ats for local touring or long distance tripping. Can’t be appreciated until paddled.
Traditional design based on the Peterborough Trapper Bunny model. Trimmed for solo, but equipped with two seats. Also makes an excellent tandem day-tripper.
Traditional looks, tumblehome, keeled hull. A great solo canoe.
Shallow-arch bottom and moderate rocker for quick, responsive action. Flared ends and straight gunwale-line keep inside dry. Good secondary stability and fl atwater tracking.
The Pack’s V-entry hull with keel is an easy paddling design that even a novice can handle. The Pack weighs only 33 lbs—anyone who can paddle solo can carry it.
Versatile, bottom gives excellent manoevrability, length is perfect for solo or tandem trips. Ash-webbed seats, ash portaging yoke.
A reproduction of the Chestnut Fox. Lean entry lines, comfortable size and shape, very versatile. For extended solo trips and rewarding freestyle performance. Excellent fi nish.
At home on wilderness rivers, fun on local streams, great for travel. One of a few canoes ever paddled in the Antarctic. Conversion kit turns it into a wide, stable 140T sport canoe.
A compact, lightweight and strikingly beautiful solo canoe with tucked- in centre section and lift lines in the bow and stern. This boat easily handles moderate whitewater and choppy lakes.
An excellent tripping canoe. Has great speed and tracks straight. If you love to solo, you will love this canoe.
