Fibreglass purchased in '97. A sweet 'boulevard' canoe with eye-appeal. It paddles better than almost any other canoe I've been in. Great carrying capacity for longer trips w/family. A bit on the delicate side though, so treat it well and don't take any hits with it - those ribs are thin. Our other canoe is a Wenonah Spirit II royalex which is our whitewater beast (great), but the Traveler still paddles a bit nicer and has much better secondary stability. As an ex-canoe guide, soloing is a test of a good all-round boat, and the Traveler solos beautifully for a 17' (not the Spirit II). Treat it well and it will treat you well.
