canoe's performance is built into its design. The dimensions and shape of the hull above and below the water line, and other variables, determine how efficient, stable, roomy, maneuverable, and seaworthy a canoe model is. Of the 30+ models of canoes in this catalog, no two perform the same. A sports and leisure canoe that's stable and easy to paddle will have a different length, width, rocker and streamlining than a performance canoe designed to go fast and glide far. Even within the same category of canoes, subtle differences in design will change their performance. -DimensionsLength...

This, plus the cost of high-end materials make them fairly expensive, but their lightness, toughness, and...

at y st e step b ht canoe Ultra-lig Watch th vlar® onah Ke of a Wen Construction & Materials Flex-core construction creates a more rugged canoe than our Ultra-light and is meant for general paddling on all but extreme waters. In our Flex-core constructions a structural core is laminated into the hull, orienting the composite fibers carefully to distribute loads. We add an extra fabric layer to the whole hull. This adds a bit of weight but makes for a stronger, more ridged canoe. Side ribs are not needed because this layup distributes more material throughout the hull. The result is a tough...
