Old Town Charles River Canoe

Start your river adventures this Summer with this fantastic Canadian Canoe. Originally purchased from Brighton Canoes Ltd for around £1200 plus accessories. "The Charles River Canoe is one of the most traditional graceful canoes available, whilst maintaining fantastic performance for all abilities with its excellent handling characteristics. The Charles River Canoe has black vinyl gunwales, nylon webbed seats and an ash thwart and yoke. The Charles River can be paddled solo or tandem." We have 3 fixed seats, plus one extra movable canvas seat.

It's been perfect for our family of 2 adults and one young child. But we've also added a couple of teenage passengers in the past and it's been up to the task. The yoke is the one that features a mast hole for use with a sail. We also had the canoe specially fitted with a hand-crafted mast step in solid wood (rather than the vinyl versions available which are not very robust) enabling you to use a sail for coasting down larger water bodies (we had amazing fun sailing the full length of Coniston in the Lake District). A brand new sail is included as the last one blew out on a particularly fast tack!

Sadly needing to sell due to change in personal circumstances. Fantastic condition. A few scrapes on the bottom from river use that do not affect its performance or function. Canoe, seats, yoke, mast step, mast and brand new sail included. Also including two floatation blocks, mooring ropes, and additional removal canvas seat.

This 16ft canoe has provided us with endless fun on our local lakes and waterways. Is it time for you to start your family's summer adventures on the water?
