Canadian Canoe - 2 to 3 person - perfect for family - fibre glass. This handmade (professionally made by Snake River Canoes, Norfolk England by Mel) His work gets good reviews on "song of the paddle" website Length 480cm / 189 inch (rounded to 16ft)Width 88cm / 35 inches (rounded to 3ft) We have used this as a family for many days on the rivers around us.It is movable by one strong adult, but more convenient with two. An adult and able 1o years old can launch and recover this canoe. We have two people to paddle the canoe (on the two seats - either sitting or kneeling)2 additional people are easily accommodated. We regularly had 2 paddlers with one guest relaxing in the middleWith two people the canoe is easy to handle with plenty of space (picnics, dog and camping equipment)Our best trips have been with two adults, two children and our dog.
The last four pictures show the damaged areas - these do not affect performance and could be repaired with gelcoat.There are two large/deeper scratches plus the chips and scrapes on the ends. The scratches are from very shallow water scrapes and are cosmetic.These could be repaired, but the canoe will get these if used in shallow water - they don't affect it's performance.We used the canoe last season like this with no issues. I would be tempted to repair some of these after using the canoe a couple of times to get an understanding of the scapes you'll pick up.(gelcoat can be bought for under £20, and simple fibre glass kits are cheap too). The canoe comes with all you need to get started.Four buoyancy aids and two paddles. (For safety you should always paddle with a spare paddle, and additional buoyancy - we did this with our waterproof bags that we tied to the seats) A roof rack and trailer is need to pick this Canoe up.
We transport it on the car roof using 4 long straps. 2 to hold it down and 2 to ensure it cannot lip forward or backwards.
