“In the U.S. in particular, there is less demand for weeklong trips and more of a weekend warrior mentality. Or, you day trip and go for lunch and paddle back. You don’t need an 18-foot-long canoe anymore,” says Thomas.


 
The Chinese have made inroads in the kayaking community with the Stellar line, not sure how willing the canoeing or pack boat buyers will be. Time will tell.
 
The pads are an interesting idea.
The keel is indicative of a poor design.
That will wear fast in the stern
 
Support canoe manufacturers from USA and Canada, don’t waste your money on junk made in China!
Well, to their credit, they do claim to use American made Kevlar in their builds, unlike Wenonah who uses Chinese made Twaron. Last year there was a Stellar dealer on the west coast that was deeply discounting two of these Dragonflys to move them out, so they may have an uphill struggle to gain traction in the market. But I'm with you, NY first, US second, Canada third.
