Impressive! Was a pleasure to watch this video. Here in Europe, Poland, canoeing isn't very popular. I've never seen WW canoeing here. One question: how do you call this thing you're knelling on in the boat? PAX
Thank you for your comment. The one I'm sitting on is shown in another video. Please watch the video at this link. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qchhX2HTkTk.htmlsi=Z1zywVX9TawRsJ6-
Thanks for your comment! I also have a Penobscot 16. This canoe is not suitable for eddy catch because it has more straightness than rotation. However, it is suitable for downrivers due to its round bottom.
Thank you for your question. My hat is Wilderness Village×tent-Mark DESIGNS Wilderness Hat made in Japan. It is also sold on Amazon, but it does not ship overseas. I will let you know the Amazon link.
Thanks! I'm looking at a used 16 footer for lake camping and class 1 to low class 2 river travel. I would be using it as a solo with a total load of roughly 400 lbs. I had a 15 footer in mind, but yours seems quite agile. Of course, I assume that's more about your skill level than the canoe! Maybe the 16 would work?
We recommend 16ft based on your usage. The reason is that a larger loading space is advantageous in an emergency. If you install a flotation bag on a river canoeing, the loading space will become smaller. Also, the 16ft canoe has a beautiful shape. The advantage of the 15ft is that it is light and has good turning and maneuverability.
Thanks FlavorMan. I have two Campers. I also have a Penobscot 16. I know the Osprey 140 exists, but I haven't actually seen it. It is rarely imported in Japan.
