This is a splendid canoe for two persons with baggage on week-end to week long trips, or for families with two adults and one child. The canoe is relatively short and has a low profile, making it harder for wind to get hold. The design and size makes it an excellent solo-canoe on lakes and quiet rivers. The low weight and the handy size make it ideal for trips with a lot of portages. This is a fast, easily maneuverable canoe, even for the soloist.
