    Wenonah Prospector 15

    Hey All - I thought I would post this here as well as the other usual locations of Facebook and CL. I have decided to part with my beloved Prospector 15, Tuf-weave, custom ordered with the front seat moved towards the center of the canoe by about 6 inches. That allows an actual human to sit in...

    Feedback Requested Northstar Northwind 17 or B17 in Blacklite?

    Hi All, I am trying to decide between one of the following boats: Northwind 17 OR Northstar B17 Both in the blacklite layup. The purpose for the boat is for multi-day lake and river trips, tandem. :-) Weight is important - hence the blacklite - but so is efficiency and...

    Wind + Distance = Reality Check?

    Hi Everyone, I finally had the opportunity to spend a day in the little Prospector and had an absolute blast. Played in a little bit of current with ferry angles, s-turns, etc. Luv'n the boat. I had a great time but sort of wanted to die by the end of the day. The situation was...

    Tips on float bag installation

    So I guess this is my response to Alan's question about what is going on in my shop (garage) this winter. Outfitting the new boat. The Prospector is made of Tuffweave and although I asked Wenonah where I should install the rivet/lashing kit, a friend who has a Kevlar Wenonah also did so in a...

    Since now it's official...

    Hi Everyone, I've been around a bit on the site, but waited on introductions because, well, I didn't actually have a canoe. PortlandBCS is correct, there isn't much out here for canoes so I ordered a little We-no-nah Prospector 15. Four months later, it arrived just in time for the ice, wind...
