The solo paddler is the most demanding of all
wilderness paddlers. Rugged individualists they tend to be highly
skilled, demanding and form strong personal bonds with their
boats. To please their specific styles and interests, we offer
two solo canoes designed by John
Winters, an ardent solo paddler himself. Fast, maneuverable
and seaworthy, both boats have John's distinctive asymmetrical
water-lines and profiles coupled with a gentle turn of the bilge.
These are the first Canadian "all-purpose", high performance
solo canoes. |
