Owner says this canoe is perfect for slack water touring and expeditions. The long straight keel makes it track extremely well. The wide beam and shallow vee hull give it outstanding stability. It can carry a tremendous amount of gear and still have enough freeboard to ride whitecaps on larger wind-blown lakes safely and comfortably.
