Old Town Appalachian Canoe Red

Our Old Town Canoe was purchased in April 2004 after an amazing canoe trip Canada It is a great river canoe and can be paddled solo or tandem and we have used it on the Thames. There is lots of room for bags and kids in the centre and at the front so you can go on trips and camp along the way. It is easy to manoeuvre and is great in white water. We have decided to sell it as we have started to use it less as the kids have grown and activities have changed. We thought if we sold it now that some autumn paddling could be done!

For a full specification please look at the Old Town Website and look for the Appalachian in the product guide. Https://www.oldtowncanoe.com/uploadedFiles/Website_Library_Assets/Files/Catalogs/Old_Town_2007_Product_Guide.pdf There is a slight discolouration of the bottom and some minor scratches which were hard to capture in a photo. The details from the brochure are as follows: With enough rocker to provide excellent maneuverability in the rapids, and flared ends for dryness and buoyancy, the Appalachian is an impressive river runner. Its shallow arch offers great initial and secondary stability, and whitewater enthusiasts will particularly appreciate the canoe’s quick response and tight handling. It can be paddled solo or tandem, with huge carrying capacity, it’s also great for family outings or day trips.

TRIPPER (172 and XL) The 17-foot Tripper is what wilderness canoeing is all about. A high volume hull with deep-V entry that paddles easily with a heavy load. A shallow arch design with exceptional stability that handles whitewater with ease. A forgiving canoe that is regarded by many as the best tandem wilderness tripping canoe available. Features • Polyethylene decks with grab handles • Classic, standard-setting design • Polyethylene contoured seats • Ash carrying yoke and thwart • Black vinyl gunwales I am storing it at my parents house in Bracknell so it will be collection from there (RG42).
