CONTINUED EAGLE (K)
www.novacraft.com $2,849–$3,599 CAD
The Eagle 17 is the big brother to Nova Craft’s Falcon 16 and shares all of its redeeming qualities. It features a higher-volume, asym- metrical design with plumb stems, fine entry lines, minimal rocker and a narrow beam to maximize efficiency. A shallow-arch bottom gives this quick canoe a steady feel, especial- ly when carrying lots of gear into the interior. If effortless tracking and glide are what you are looking for in a large tripping canoe, the Eagle is a superb choice.
