Wenonah Escape Graphite Ultra-Light Canoe 17'6", 2022, Used One Time

Graphite Ultra-Light - 41 Lbs. / USA MSRP $4,129 USD / Canada $5,574 CADUltra-light hulls are stiff and incredibly light. They are ideal for speed and distance paddling and for all people or conditions that demand the lightest gear. In our Ultra-light construction a structural-foam core and ribs are laminated into the hull and sides. We also add extra fabric layers to strengthen specific targeted areas.

Aluminum plates are strategically laminated into the hull. Seats, footbraces, and all hardware is then riveted into these plates. This gives a very secure connection and eliminates rivet heads on the exterior. A Graphite Ultra-light canoe is made the same way as an Ultra-light with Aramid, but with Graphite as the outer layer. It's ideal for paddlers desiring more stiffness in their composite canoe.

Graphite transfers energy better than any of our other materials, which makes these the most crisp paddling canoes. The aesthetic appeal of a black Graphite canoe is also undeniable.Graphite Ultra-Light canoe shown with Standard Options, may not be the Escape.OutfittingBlack Aluminum Trim (Std)Natural (skin-coat) finishSliding Bow SeatAsh Yoke Natural SatinFoot Brace Adjustable SternGraphite Bucket (Hung not avail.)Outfitting OptionsBlack Aluminum Trim - $175Wood Gunwales (tandem) Blk.

Our medium sized performance tandem, it's a very versatile craft. The Escape is a sleek performance canoe that will paddle well on streams and rivers, as well as larger lakes.

It has fair depth and width to hold plenty of gear, while its flared bow and extra depth at bow and stern keeps you dry in the choppiest waters. If you love the speed and glide of the Minnesota II but are looking for a canoe that's easier to manage on brushy portages and twisty streams the Escape is the one to choose.
