The Deep Creek's traditional hull design is very stable and maneuverable while still being fairly efficient to paddle and track, making this a great multi-purpose canoe. Our light weight composite lay-ups make it easy to load and unload from the vehicle or to portage for one person with a loaded pack. It also means less weight to push in the water while paddling. The Deep Creek can double as a solo canoe and is a great freestyle canoe as well. If you are looking for an all-around canoe but enjoy light weight and efficiency, try the Deep Creek.
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.
For many mixed teams, adult / youth paddlers, and teams of different sizes, the difference between a good canoe and the right canoe is the difference between winning and losing. For these paddlers, it's essential that they can easily trim the canoe so it responds quickly and effortlessly to their paddle strokes. They can't afford to be fighting a canoe that handles poorly. That's why we build the V1-A with a "whale-tail." This allows the stern paddler to be farther back in the canoe, properly trimming and balancing the hull for maximum performance. For paddlers that have a variety of partners, it's possible to rig our mixer to change between a men's and a mixed set-up.
Leading pro paddlers use the V1-Pro for its speed and ability to maintain and keep a "pop" in shallow water. Pro boats are usually fully or partially decked with fabric covers to keep water out of the hull. And they often build V1s with special options such as bow bailers for the demanding conditions of pro racing.
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.
