Just back from a ten day trip in Algonquin park. We picked up our new Keewaydin 16 and gave it a good workout. We were very happy with all aspects of the canoe. It was beautiful with clear coat black and champagne bottom. We bought the carbon fusion with carbon trim so the canoe was very lite. We loaded it with lots of gear and it handled great and paddled very good as loaded as it was and still quite fast. When it was empty of the gear and just the two of us it was wonderful to paddle. I really could not think of a bad thing to say about it so we are very happy with our new canoe. Thank you Swift.
