Our Featured Model Canoes for 2012:

The Algonquin Quest Series : (bulletproof ? na! but tough eh!)
Combining the Light weight & strength of Kevlar or Aramid Fiber & the durability of Fiberglass!
Our New Composite Blended Canoes feature a lightweight Fiberglass/ Aramid Fiber reinforced hull.
Outer layers of Fibreglass offer the best abrasion resistance and stand up well to the compressive forces generated by impacts to the outside of the hull. However, fibreglass is not very resistant to the tearing forces generated inside the hull by the same impacts. To solve this problem and lighten the hull we add Proprietory reinforments of Aramid Fiber to this model that offer excellent resistance to tearing. Our own Proprietory construction methods combine the best features of Fiberglass, Aramid Fibers & Resins, used in the best combination and resulting in one great lightweight and tough canoe! Our over 30 years of experience has led us to design our own canoe layup that is lightweight & still retains the maximum strength in the hull.

The trim is finished off with strong bright aluminum keyhole style gunwales or optional ash wood secured with stainless steel rivets or brass screws. Our canoes are fitted with floatation tanks at each end to prevent the canoe from sinking if turned over. Wood & nylon ,string or webbed seats for your maximum comfort. Portaging the canoe is made easy by the selection of carrying yokes we include and sell. (All this adds up to many years of enjoyment for a very modest investment.)

(order one today!) note: Kevlar is often commonly & improperly refered to as a type of material and it is in fact a DuPont Trademark for a type of Aramid Fiber. DuPont company was the first to introduce a para-aramid called Kevlar in 1973. We refer to it here by it's proper material name (Aramid Fiber ) not a Brand name (such as Kevlar). P.S. We do use both brands of these materials as required and available in our Canoes.

Optional on all models : Selected Ash Wood Gunwhales and trim add $300.00
