ESQUIF
CHAMPLAIN (D)
www.esquif.com • $2,619
Another proven and classic design, the 16-foot Champlain was designed in the early 1900’s by Peterborough Ca- noe Company. If the Prospecteur is the versatile pickup truck of the traditional canoe genre, the Champlain is the sportscar. Popular for cruising and racing, the narrow beam gives it more speed and a responsive feel. It is ideal for tandem canoe tripping and the narrower width, gentle rocker and smooth chine transition at the ends make it wonderful for classic solo.

H2O Canoe Company Prospectors represent the legend- ary canoe style in three sizes. Each Prospector is a refined version of the traditional, symmetrical and semi-round hull, with fine entry lines and moderate rocker. The 15-4 is a highly maneuverable hull, tandem or solo sized, for a weekend to weeks-long trip.

H2O CANOE COMPANY HORIZON 17 (F)
www.h2ocanoe.com $1,995–$3,295 CAD UPDATED FOR 2014
The H2O Canoe Company Horizon 17 is a no-nonsense, straight-ahead runner. Hori- zon 17 maximizes waterline length with minimal rocker, yet is very stable for a nar- row beam boat, with its shallow-arch shape. Low sheer lines reduce the effect of crosswind and the flared hull design effectively sheds splash water. The Horizon is a predictable, easy-to-paddle lake tripper, suitable for every ability range of paddler.
