For decades, the stable, user-friendly wood-canvas
canoes built by Chestnut or Peterborough in Canada and Old Town
and others in the USA were the standard by which all recreational
canoes were judged. Today, their availability is largely limited
to reproductions, lovingly built by craftsmen working out of
small shops. For many of us who learned to paddle in the traditional
wood/canvas canoe, there is no substitute for the feel and motion
of the symmetrical hull. In our ALGONQUIN and OTTER
series, you will find all the stability and user-friendly
characteristics of the very best classic canoes in a modern package
created by David Yost, one
of America's finest canoe and Kayak Designers. |
