I have canoe covers and like having them on my canoes. Over the years i have seen the color of the fabric lighten and degrade, and assume that the cover is taking the brunt of the UV damage. The canoe sits on my car at work so I can paddle at the end of the day. It takes about a minute to...

https://wenonah.com/Canoes.aspx?id=150 sold, Its a great canoe and i hope the new owner enjoys it at least as much as I did. From the wenonah site "Ultra-Light w/Aramid - 34 Lbs. / USA MSRP $3,524 USD / Canada $4,759 CAD Ultra-light hulls are stiff and incredibly light. They are ideal for...

The ice will melt soon. Who is racing this year, and where? I don't intend to do any big races, just stuff around town and in state. The Snake River Race in Mora MN is the first race of the season, and I will probably do it in an aluminum canoe with a friend. The Mississippi race is I think the...

i wetfoot so stand over the canoe with one leg on each side then sit down.

Might I suggest a Wenonah Advantage for a solo canoe. I have one and love it.

if you have a foot strap attached to the footbar, it is easier to lean the canoe when making a turn. I like it when the water is a little rough as well as it helps brace myself.

i have an advantage and absolutely love it. it seems very versatile and is a good fit for me. I tend to sit and switch, and every 3-7 strokes based on wind. I do not j or other stroke as it makes paddling less efficient for me. you lean to the opposite side you want to turn. If you have a...

The Minnesota Canoe Association may be able to help you connect. mncanoe.org there are members everywhere I think with a preponderance in the twin cities. I do know there are some canoe racers in Duluth, but do not remember their names. hope this helps. If you come down to Minneapolis there are...

This might already been listed above, but i saw an article on this. https://dillenschneiderdesigns.com/

Thanks, I just had surgery, so can i connect with you in a few weeks. Not able to function right now. Do you have any pictures and a price? Also why selling?

Not for me. i'm limited to one solo and one tandem. one in, one out

Sorry to hear that. Always next year. Stuff happens to me as i age and i just have to force myself to slow down and roll with it.

JCH_Ski, Are you still planning to do the Ausable 120 challenge? How has your training gone over the spring? I am toying with the idea of considering it next year, but am concerned about the amount of time in the seat. Good luck

one of my concerns is not being able to paddle an example before buying one. I think I will have to try to get out to one of the big races (Ausable or Clinton) or something like that to paddle different boats. I did also see that GRB Newman has a race canoe called the Concept which looks really...

If you're looking for a fast race boat, GRB also makes the concept.

bonpawtuck, thanks. I had not seen that one. I wonder if it is really old, as that price seems too good to be true. I'll try contacting the seller as well. regards zehyani

congrats on the new canoe. Paddle lots. Use a gps to trace speed and efficiency. Connect with some racers. They will help you. enjoy

Anyone selling a Savage River Blackwater or GRBNewman classic xl? Looking for a used one.

There is plenty of time to find the right canoe. in the meantime, you have a solo to practice in. I suspect joining or connecting with the Michigan Canoe Racing association will get you lots of resources, both in terms of boats and training. I have paddled a DY special once. It was a really...

http://miracing.com/mcra/ Michigan canoe racing page. There must be other canoe clubs around as well. I am sure there are lots of people who can help, paddle with and train. BTW, I bought my advantage from someone who advertised it on BWCA.com. Good luck.
