    This one is the original Cruiser. At 17'-9" it was the gold standard for a class of racing canoes. It would have been named the 212. I have owned 3 cruisers; one went to a racer of the MR340 who turned it i to a solo boat, one went to my daughter, and this one shall go to . . . To be continued.

    Canoecopia 2020

    Well, It's that time of the year! Canoecopia 2020 begins Friday March 13, 2020 and goes thru Sunday. I, for one, will be there working the show as I have for the last dozen or so years. I hope to see many of my friends and friends to be there. Let me know if I should be looking for you at the...

    Sold

    A great beginner/intermediate boat that will give confidence and speed up the learning curve for beginners and will provide intermediate paddlers a predictable, responsive boat to play in Class 2/3 rivers. This boat is in surprisingly good condition and fully outfitted. Red $750 Can be delivered...

    Sawyer Cruiser SOLD

    I have taken this boat many places: in rivers and massive lakes, as well as streams and ponds. I haven’t found a better tripping canoe for that wide range of conditions. Primary stability is good, but in large waves, the great secondary stability keeps you from being tossed out in a broaching...

    Sold

    Beige $1200 or Baby Blue $1600 If you aim to put on miles or burn some calories, the Shockwave is your kind of canoe. As a tripping boat it carries you and your gear farther with less effort than most solo tripping canoes. Want to use your double (kayak) blade, go right ahead, it’s as though it...

    need help solo paddling ...

    BobB, I hope to see you at Canoecopia--I'm working Friday and attending the other two days. I agree with Conor Mihell on lowering the bow seat to factory or lower yet. Staying closer to the pivot point of the canoe should still take precedence as that is where boat control is better managed...

    F150 roof rack thoughts

    On my '16 ford f150 I use a yakima bar on the cab and a Thule owned TracRack from Home Depot. I can keep my tonneau cover on the box for some weather protection of the box's contents and transport two tandem canoes if necessary. Ive been on horse trails in Manitoba and no twisting problems...

    Swift's new Cruiser solo, 16'8", for larger paddlers

    A@ yc You won't see recreational kayakers using a greenland paddle nor canoers--too technical. From all I've read a low angle used with the gp is for relaxed, casual paddling (the very definition of paddle dipping). While a 45 degree to near vertical catch and stroke is for touring and...

    Just ordered a SPOT II

    I'm considering getting an InReach Mini so that I can let my family know when I am changing my plan from the float plan I leave behind. Leaving behind a float plan is still the best way to manage a trip. Too much information and immediate response can cause all sorts of concerns when information...

    Swift's new Cruiser solo, 16'8", for larger paddlers

    FYI, the Swift Cruiser is David Yosts latest iteration of the DYSpecial/Shockwave which are his designs. Racing boats turned into tripping boats are not a new phenomenon as the Minnesota II, Sawyer Cruiser, any Jenson inspired canoe, and numerous solo canoes that are heavily used in the BWCAW by...

    Canoe cart advice please!

    Having worked at Rutabaga Paddlesports in Madison, WI, and trying the carts on many boats, the SS cart is without a doubt the best cart design for keeping the wheels pointed in the right direction. The adjustable width padded supports running parallel to the keel line provide more surface area...

    BWCA August 14-19

    CF, I've been to every corner of the BWCAW except one--the Arrowhead trail in the northeast corner. I am entering EP70 and going along the pigeon river to Rose and Duncan Lakes to do the Staircase Portage and return through the lakes just below the border lakes. I have a cousin on Long Island...

    Swift Prospector 15

    I have paddled it and you still could. Bill Swift Jr. will be in Madison WI at Rutabaga Paddlesports June 9th and most likely have it with him as it is one of the new boats he is promoting. You could also try the Kewaydin 14 and 15' solos. Although it has the prospector name, it does not have...

    BWCA August 14-19

    CF, that's an iconic trip. You'll have some company on it so get an early start in the am and find a campsite by 2-3pm. Many people basecamp on Fourtown and the falls are well worth the trip. Finding a campsite near the falls can be rewarding if there is any chance one is open after noon...
