Wenonah Advantage Made/w Kevlar Solo Racing, Training Canoe Shoulder Pads Paddle

Wenonah Solo Advantage Kevlar lightweight racing, training Canoe in great experienced shape. Has the expected scrapes, but, hey, it's made of Kevlar which remains uncompromised. It has received a sanding, culminating in a a wet 600 grit finish followed by a Mas epoxy coating. Almost all the forum bloggers seem to prefer this method, and as a frequent builder of Chesapeake Light Craft wooden boats, I heartily agree. It was fitted earlier with the Wenonah-supplied bow and stern reinforcement guards.

16' 6 inches Length Overall. Gunwale width 22.5", Max width 29.5". Her weight is about 43 lbs. The gunwale strips are aluminum of course. Included is the Wenonah Portage Yoke with secure shoulder pads for walking (or in the case of my brother-in-law the senior Iron-Man MD, running!) around obstructions or from lake to lake.

A $295 value. The Malone wooden paddle is a beaut with a recurved handle. The foot braces came as a standard feature. This is a fast boat as many onlookers can't help commenting. The Wenonah company says this about the Advantage: " Fast, sleek and straight tracking high-performance tripper and trainer.

Great for training and aerobic exercise. You can push to the limit and build strength at the same time. Upper body training that no other sport can equal plus the joy of traveling fast with no wasted effort. Seaworthy and sleek, this model will allow you to cover the miles you need on a long trip. It is true that new paddlers may prefer the stability of the Prism or Encounter, but most canoeists can handle the Advantage and like its increased performance features.
