Last fall I found a kevlar Canadienne in good shape, the smaller one at 15'7". I paid $250 bucks for it. After some repair work with epoxy and a fresh coat of paint it looks really good.
I have paddled it a few times from the bow seat with my dog and a cooler for ballast. The boat only has about a 32 inch beam and is lightening fast. It feels a little tender but it should settle down with a load of overnight gear. I have not done much solo paddling except day trips. I am looking forward to my first overnight, probably on the Sacramento River.
