Finding solos canoes in europe can be a hard task. Finding sometinh o. A budget even harder. When old town released the next about a decade ago i thougt, these lines are nice.
When i saw one at the local dealer. I was less convinced about the chair.
Politely i asked if I coulg remove the seat and test it . No problem.
A quick spin was enough to seal the deal. Ripped the footrest out. The dealer knows his way in repairing holes in pe.
so when i left. I only needed to put a twarth in.
There it is up in sunny Schotland.
Without seat and footrest it is about 5 kilo's less weight . Of the catalogue.
I think 20 22 kg ish.
It is not a fast demon. But compared to other 13 ft baots like teh old town pack it has a better glide and tracks well.
As with many other canoes it spins gracefully on edge. Not as good as a wild/flash. But at a third or less of the price you get a boat that is very capable.
When people attend a workshop and the do not have or breng their on boat this is our plan a that never let us down. Easy predictable stable tracks nicely. Reacts to steering and correction.
Not a pig in wind conditions.
