By "Wenonahs" I mean canoes with narrow stems that slice through waves rather than rise up over them. Prospector-types, on the other hand, do the opposite.
Given all the interest in w/c and other Prospector types, I'm curious if there are many here who prefer the Wenonah type.
I ask because I'm a little undecided about whether to keep my Sundowner 18 and would like to hear other's thoughts. I've seen it take water over the gunwale at the bow station in 1-foot waves and I'm not sure I want to use it for tripping any more. I also have a Bell NorthStar (16'6") that I've been told is more like a Prospector-type such as the Cronje 17.
Thoughts?
