Are there solo canoes that are suitable for paddling both kneeling and sitting in a 14 or 15 feet length?
Many many years ago I owned a Bart Hauthaway 12 ft sugar Island rob roy type decked canoe that had a fiberglass t shaped cross thwart molded to the deck and hull that I could paddle kneeling with a single paddle or sit on the floor and use a double bladed Hauthaway paddle with the thwart as a back support , but I sold it years ago
About 15 years ago I bought a Bell Rob Roy 15 ft decked canoe that Bell told me I could mount their kneeling thwart to but the thwart height was too low to properly get my feet and heels under or out of so I sold that also.
I am now looking for a lightweight solo canoe that tracks well for open water that I can paddle either kneeling or sitting on a low seat but most models seem to be set up for one position or the other. I did own a kevlar Wennonah vagabond solo canoe briefly but want a faster narrower solo canoe.
