MANUFACTURER’S COMMENTS
Longer expeditions require a fast, straight-tracking canoe. The Odyssey is that and more.
$2,465 US Excellent “pocket” tripping boat for paddlers with the need for speed. Same asymmetrical shape and elliptical hull, but with the lowest sheer in the line. Also available in BlackGold.
$3,419 $2,595
The narrow 31” 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’ 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.
