Do you have a link to a late 80' MRC catalog that shows the Traveler?
Paper copies only, no links or scans, just a file cabinet of old canoe company catalogs. Wish I had kept every one, too late now.
Sadly, until 4 or 5 or 10 year ago, Mad River supported archival catalog links to Vermont era catalogs, then they disappeared; maybe some proprietary issue with Kay Henry.
Had I known those old catalog links were going to vanish I would have bought a fresh printer cartridge and at least printed the catalog page of
every model. There have been something like 100 different MRC canoe models, or more than 160 is you count RX and different glass/kevlar composite versions separately.
Some of the models from that Vermont era are lesser known and little seen; Whistler, Minstrel, Pearl, Tempest, Companion, Compatriot, Hurricane, Fingerling, Slipper and Ladyslipper. The Grand Laker, and some mini-Grand Laker; I can’t even remember the name of that one. (Anyone?)
A scan of old MRC catalogs, from the 70’s and 80’s, and even 90’s would be a great resource. Could be that some long-in-business outfitter filed away copies of their old Mad River catalogs.
I have said this before, and even e-mailed this manufacturer, but I really,
really wish Wenonah would offer links to scans of their old catalogs. Same company for 50 years, so many J-boats and early models, so much other “stuff” on their website.
Not the 20 pages catalog pages of construction differences and how to paddle, just the catalog page of every Wenonah models through history. I would read the crap outa that.
Guess I’ll send Wenonah another e-mail request.
