The Old Town Discovery is an absolute classic Open Canoe, a work horse on the water. Its 3 layer Super-linear build quality is renowned for its incredible strength and durability, regarded by many as the toughest on the market. It's where many of us had our first experience of canoeing in Scouts, Guides or at an Outdoor Adventure Centre when we were kids, and thrill of paddling the Discovery is as good now as it was back then. When paddling a Discovery you know you're in control of a quality canoe. From first paddle stoke to the last, you appreciate the smooth, easy glide through the water and the excellent blend of primary and secondary stability.
All this combined with a very forgiving nature makes the Discovery feel safe and reliable for tandem paddling while at the same time responsive and agile when solo. Perfect for inland waters, the Discovery will allow you to grow and develop your paddling skills as you experience the joys of canoeing and move onto more challenging waters - it will even handle some gentle coastal paddling. The Discovery is also a great choice for those wanting to get onto moving water as the hull offers enough manoeuvrability and performance to negotiate white water rapids.

This has never affected the performance of the canoe.
It is a fantastic canoe and very stable. We are only selling it as we have moved onto kayaks. 2 wooden paddles included.
