2020 Wenonah Pricing now in effect. The cross-over features seem to fit well and offer a new style of paddling on the various water types.It is a small boat, so for the taller or larger paddlers it may be a tighter fit. However, the ‘feel’ of a wooden boat is unlike a canoe made from man-made material and traditionalist to tend to swear by wood over composite models.If you’re a keen paddler and want to get out on the water as often as you can, then solo-canoeing means you don’t have to rely on someone else to go with you and you can go whenever the time is right. Not only do you have to power it forward, but you have to master steering all at the same time. You need to be comfortable on longer journeys, as it is you that must do all the work, but remember that the canoe needs to be responsive when tackling the rougher waters and not too heavy when portaging/racking it on your own after a long day out on the water.Remember that solo-canoes come in various sizes, some with the ability to tandem paddle too. Remember size is key, as a big boat is harder to steer on your own, but you will find it tricky if there isn’t enough space for you and all your kit. If you have to rack it on your own after a hard day on the water, weight is also something to consider, so having a canoe made out of a lighter material may be something that decides your boat for you.You can also clip in seats, move yolks and get canoes with three seats that are based on the improved seating positions for using the canoe both on your own and in a pair.Fishing takes on a whole new experience when it’s done from a canoe.
Built in composites, this is a light-weight, high-performance, dual-purpose hull.
The added depth means that there is more carrying volume, whilst remaining strong on white-water and still comfortable to paddle on longer journeys.If you’re inexperienced it might be wise to go out with a group, as there is always a chance that you might fall in and you’d have someone to help with a water rescue.
This does make people wonder why they should buy a wooden boat, as composite materials do seem to last longer and boast the benefits of being stronger and more durable. It’s always a bit tricky to trust companies that “fuse” styles, when each paddle sport has perfectly good models that fit personal preference. You must wear a BA (that goes without saying), but it’s important for you to be able to bail out safely, without being snagged by any of your kit.Solo-canoeing is a great pastime, especially if you like paddling more than your friends.
