Thanks for the reply. I completely agree with you that it is stupid to risk anything with such an expensive canoe. I have now gotten a cover for it and hope it is UV resistant.

🙏👍

Thanks for the input👍 Boatguard SPF 50 is hard to come by but I'll do some searching online. I'll be using the canoe almost daily from mid-May to mid-September so I'll probably have to lubricate it quite often. It came with a cover for the canoe but I think it's too much work to put the cover on...

Thanks for checking with a company about UV damage to Carbon canoes👍 I have used 303 on a canoe before but I don't know how often you have to lubricate it on the canoe..After every trip? It is difficult to get 303 in Norway. Regards Bjørn

I bought the canoe from my very good fishing buddy Pål Krogvold who has imported many canoes for friends in Norway. He was a passionate canoeist who competed in many paddling competitions in the USA. I also have a Wenonah Prism and a self-built wooden canoe in Cedar. I will post some pictures...

Thanks for the reply. I have sent a message to GRB Newman to ask what coating the canoe has. The canoe is very light in the first place so I don't want to make it heavier with an extra layer of varnish if I can avoid it. I am very careful with my canoes so it won't get any scratches or wounds...

Thank you very much for the good answer. I plan to sand down the coating a bit and paint over with 1 component UV boat paint so maybe that will protect the carbon well enough?

Hi, I'm from Norway. I bought a GRB Classic Solo canoe in Carbon. Does anyone know if it can withstand being left unprotected on the car roof for 1 month? I'm thinking about the sun rays. I drive around and use it daily in July regards Bjorn
