    Thoughts on the Dragonfly 15

    I'd get a lighter version of whatever than I now have, but it has to be rock resistant. Finding the balance between weight and strong, is always difficult. The older we get, the weight will be more of a problem and we need to find waters that are less challenging.

    I'm pretty sure that the only large production volume canoes that are regularly sold without any gel coat are Northstars and the epoxy Swifts Wenonah skincoat? I have no clue if that is gelcoat or.....

    Swift Drops a New Tandem Tripper - Wabakimi 18

    That wavy gunnel line/asymmetrical hull is freaky but so interestingly inspired. I love where and how these designers are taking things way outside any known envelopes. I see big similaritees if i compare this new boat gunnel lines to a wnn itasca or grb morarch both are a bit longer the...
