CANOES

This short, wide canoe is stable enough to "set the screws" to a 6 pound largemouth bass exploding on your top water frog or lay back and relax in as you watch a mid summer's night meteor shower. The slightly rockered bottom makes the Fisherman maneuverable, while the boat's shallow draft will get you into places other boats only desire to go. Keep it at camp or at the lake house. Kids and other light weight paddlers will feel secure in the Fisherman.

This small, responsive, solo hull will take you out on smaller rivers and streams, and bring your adventurous spirit back satisfied. It's a great choice for a first solo canoe. Highly maneuverable and quiet enough to track birds through the backwaters, the Vagabond's small size makes it easy to car-top and carry, and convenient to store. Try paddling it with a kayak paddle. It's lighter than kayaks of similar length, and easily outperforms them.

The Wilderness is the one solo to do it all. Boundary Waters trips. Moving water. Easy rapids. Sitting. Kneeling. Adventures near and far. The Wilderness will take you there. Designed for extended solo trips, the Wilderness paddles efficiently, carries plenty of gear and runs dry. Its stable hull and moderate rocker make it at home crossing eddylines and running wilderness rapids. This well-rounded design eats up the miles when paddled sit-and-switch, so we offer it standard with a foot brace. In ultralight aramid the Wilderness is a versatile backcountry tripper. In T-Formex it's a bombproof river adventurer. If you're going to have only one solo canoe, the Wilderness is the one to have.

Incredibly versatile, it'll take you comfortably over all kinds of waters. Blending efficiency, stability, capacity, and finesse, it's ideal for cruising with a light load, but also has the volume needed for medium-length trips. Canoe & Kayak Magazine said it well when they wrote, " The Prism is all about glide and speed. It's a lean boat that tracks the best of those reviewed, yet will turn quickly enough, and returns to a stable position more readily than other fast canoes."

The Heron is a compact, maneuverable tandem canoe that answers all requests. It's the smallest tandem canoe in our General Touring family--a 15-foot version of our best-selling Spirit II. Like the Spirit II, the Heron is stable and efficient to paddle. It's shorter length makes it highly maneuverable and perfect for small streams and quiet backwaters. Compact and lightweight, the Heron is ideal for lighter paddlers and smaller water.

The Aurora is a downsized version of the Spirit II--a nimble 16-foot canoe with plenty of stability and efficiency. The Aurora is shorter than the Spirit, but still carries a load. It turns quicker in moving water and is ideal for exploring Northwoods rivers. Like the Spirit, the Aurora has an efficient hull that glides smoothly across the water, confidence-inspiring stability and predictable performance in wind and waves.
