In Response To: Solo canoes (Dan Caouette (CSFW))

: Not sure but probably a new design. Right now he's thinking about
: what he wants. He basically wants a small, light canoe that he
: can carry in to some remote ponds near our camp property. He'll
: mostly fish out of it. If he wants a sit-down-on-the-hull style
: it'll be along the lines of a Wee Lassie or Rushton. I'm also
: working on a special solo version of the venerable Prospector if
: he wants to sit higher up like in a "normal" canoe.
: Speed isn't a high priority so either way it'll be fairly short
: but wide.

I'm relearning how much I enjoy a solo canoe, mine's Royalex, Wenonah Argosy, use it for shallow often rocky streams, wanted one I didn't care if I scratched it up.

Several years back I sold my old Blackhawk tandem, was a lovely canoe but heavy and only for two, no way to paddle it alone. Hadn't had a heck of alot of use in the past 20 or so years.

Both of these canoes btw were assymetrical, I seem to like them more than the average symetrical one.
