Classic Grumman Aluminium Canadian Canoe 17 Foot, With 3 Paddles And Touring Kit

A rare opportunity in the UK to acquire a classic Grumman aluminium canoe, 17 foot Canadian style. 5 persons or 690 pounds is the official US Coastguard rating, but normally a two-seater with ample room for camping kit (or a dog).Length overall 17 feet or 5.18m., beam 3 feet or 91cm.With touring kit, including overall cockpit spray cover with apertures for three crew or two crew and kit stowage. Three paddles: one Kober "Isar", two Schlegel "Allround". (The metre rule in the picture is not part of the supply, it's just so you know if they'll fit you).Mounting board in marine ply - allows transport on a roof rack "wrong way up".Portage trolley by Karle. Two painters.

Cargo bag, splashproof with zip (Fjällraven Canotsäck) about 56 by 145 by 25cm.Two waterproof storage "roll and tie" bags (unused). Straps for canoe and paddles. Condition is "Used", having been used in England, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany and Austria, and with a fair collection of bumps and scrapes to show for it. But aircraft aluminium doesn't give up easily.Also included: original Grumman instruction manual; American Red Cross book "The open canoe"; camping guide book "Deutsches Fluss und Zelt Wanderbuch" - river and camping guide, in German but the symbols have English and French translations; BCU "Guide to the Waterways of the British Isles", 1980, mainly historical interest. Reason for sale - I can't manage a solo portage with it any more.
