Old Town Charles River Royalex Canoe In Superb Condition - Canoe / Kayak

This is a beautiful canoe in superb condition. Stored under cover and seen relatively little use. It paddles perfectly and is one of the most eye-catching and good-looking boats ever made. It is the Royalex model, which is no longer available. This means it has a better shaped hull, is longer and much lighter than those currently available.

It is a rare opportunity to buy an absolute classic. It has a couple of scrapes on the hull through normal usage. I absolutely love it and am only selling because after breaking my collar I can’t lift it over my head to put on the car. The black strips inside are just velcro, they match up to some foam mats I cut to fit, making it more comfortable kneeling etc. Will provide these with the boat and you can see them in one of the pics.

I also have a buoyancy block that I am listing elsewhere but will sell with the boat if it hasn't gone for £30 (selling elsewhere for £45). (Note: It is a CANOE and I have only included word kayak in description to ensure it comes up in searches.) Collection only from Cirencester, Gloucestershire Description below is from the original manufacturer… Charles River RX Length 16' 3" / 5.0 m Width 35" / 88.9 cm Width at 4" Waterline 35.5" / 90.0 cm Bow Height 24" / 61.0 cm Depth 14" / 35.6 cm Weight 62 lbs. / 28.1 kg Capacity 1,100 lbs / 499.0 kg "It is extremely graceful in appearance and very steady, combining beauty in outline with speed and ease of paddling." That's how Old Town's 1903 catalog described our then-new Charles River canoe, and we believe those words ring just as true today. The Charles River combines yesterday's classic design, flared with tumblehome cross-section, and contemporary materials to provide performance with greater durability and less weight, giving intermediate to advanced paddlers a canoe that matches the 'ideal canoe' picture in their minds with performance they've dreamed of.
