More speed, enhanced tracking, greater secondary stability, the ability to deal with a variety of paddling conditions, including whitewater, and a large payload make these canoes well-suited to multi-day trips.
A nimble, light-footed, amazingly durable boat for the intermediate to experienced paddler. Sharp entry and straight keel line for speed and efficiency. A consistent top performer in the downriver whitewater nationals, it's equally at home in fast moving or still water.
