The model's lines have been taken from Joe Ziemba's own original early model, vintage Chestnut Prospector. It is an ideal canoe for carrying heavy loads and extended canoe trips. This model is beautiful, functional and safe. The 16' Original Chestnut Prospector remains the quintessential wilderness tripping canoe for lake or river travel.
Not only does the Quetico 18.5 allow for high capacity loading, but it retains amazing stability and handling characteristics. Even when heavily loaded, this canoe is easy to paddle. When it comes time to portage, you’ll be impressed with how light it is. The vast majority of Quetico 18.5s are outfitted with three seats.
This tandem canoe has versatility and efficiency. If you're looking for a stable canoe that has good cruising speed, this is the one for you. Designed by using some of the same basic concepts as Savage River's award-winning racing canoes, only wider, assuring good stability and speed while requiring less effort to get where you're going. The higher sides and flared bow make it very seaworthy on a choppy lake or swift flowing river. The Blackhawk is 18' long, and with a 34- 5/8" water line, it has the capacity to haul extra cargo for a day trip or an extended wilderness experience. This canoe also meets the racing specs for most recreational races with a 16% width to length requirement.
The Champlain has the efficiency and capacity to haul heavy loads long distances, but is also pleasant to paddle lightly loaded. It also has fullness for much of its length, giving it even greater volume than its dimensions suggest. It gets excellent stability from its size, and from its shallow-arched hull, a design that is less sensitive to waves and easier for paddlers to handle. Its slightly rockered keel-line also lets it turn quite easily for its size.
Round bottom, no tumblehome, good capacity, tracks well, very fast, great glide
