@RPATCH test paddling a wood strip prototype of a new Savage River 14' solo canoe, tentatively named the Shenandoah, on a Mullica River water prairie on October 6, 2026. This prototype had adjustable gunwale width so as to adjust the rocker. It also had a bottom-mounted bucket seat, which could be sat-upon or kneeled-off, slid fore and aft, and raised or lowered in the front or back to adjust the height and cant angle. Feedback was provided to the Savage River team by several paddlers (including yours truly) on different rivers and a lake this week in the New Jersey Pine Barrens.
