The internal foam has been optimized to have a lower density, giving a thicker core than that found in Duracore, and the material distribution between the layers has been optimised to make the most of the superior materials.The result? Stiffer, lighter, and yet just as durable!
The noticeable weight saving over our Duracore laminate puts many models made with Duralite into close competition with more expensive canoes produced with composite or royalex construction methods.TRIM OPTIONSBoth Duracore plus and Duralite laminates come with a choice of trim options. Vinyl is fitted as standard and comes with a webbing seat, ash handles, and an ash thwart. Beautiful, hand crafted ash gunwales are an optional extra.VINYL GUNWALESThe custom vinyl gunwale profile is matched with webbing seats, plastic end plates, and ash handles and carrying yoke to give a durable, low maintenance outfitting option.Bespoke OptionsAs every Silverbirch canoe is hand finished in their Norfolk production facility you benefit from the ability to specify options custom to your requirements, including but not limited to:End LacingFactory fitted lacing, stitched directly through the hull under the gunwale for maximum strength and threaded through polyethylene tubing internally for abrasion resistance.This partial lacing is ideal for use with buoyancy bags up to 32" and is perfect for scenarios where you may not want to have your bags permanently fixed in position.Airbags are not supplied with this option and shown for illustration purposes only.Full Length LacingFull length lacing of your canoe creates internal attachment points at 80mm intervals throughout the length of your canoe, ideal for securely attaching gear, cargo, and buoyancy to.Massively boosting the versatility of your boat, full length lacing allows you to quickly vary the configuration of your airbags and gear or to remove it all completely when not needed.
