The Tripper's ample capacity will carry a family with kids or enough for an extended tandem wilderness trip. Versatile, fast, stable, and comfortable. The Tripper was first introduced in the spring of 1983. In its first year of production, the Tripper became Clipper’s most popular model and has remained the number one canoe of choice for paddlers in the Northwest.
Designed especially to maneuver easily, carry ample gear and run dry through lesser whitewater, such as rapids and riffles that are common on small winding rivers. Yet you'll be pleased with its performance on the lakes, as well. This Prospector is one-foot shorter and slightly wider than our Prospector 16. It has a steeply rockered hull for extreme maneuverability, extra depth for confidence, and plenty of stability.
For exploring, fishing, day-tripping with your family, and paddling on smaller rivers and streams, we designed the Aurora. The Aurora is a downsized version of the Spirit II, with all that boat's virtues, but a foot shorter in length.
Load it up with 1300 lbs of gear and you will have 7” of freeboard. The MacKenzie 16.5 works great with an outboard in the 2 to 3HP range. It’s a natural with an electric motor up to 48 or 60 thrust. For solo use (without a motor) the MacKenzie 16.5 is available with an optional rowing rig.
The original Prospector was a river-running boat known as the work horse of the North. This proven down river hull is our version of the classic design, and the closest thing to the original that money can buy. It's a stable hull for rivers and streams - with ample rocker it's quick to turn. Because of the symmetrical shape of the hull, a solo paddler loaded with gear could make good progress by turning around in the bow seat and paddling it backward.
Like a Swiss Army Knife, the Spirit II does everything. As efficient as a long-hulled canoe and as maneuverable as a short one, the Spirit II strikes a balance between all good things. Roomy enough for Boundary Waters style trips, it's even more stable when loaded.
Round bottom, no tumblehome, good capacity, tracks well, very fast, great glide
The PakCanoe 160 is considered by outfitters to be the best all-around canoe, with or without a load of gear. It can carry two people and all your gear for a two- to three-week wilderness trip. But the stability of this canoes’ thirty-seven inch beam width makes it a favorite even without a load in heavy whitewater or on large bodies of open water when wind and waves can be a deterrent. Pakboats folding canoes combine aluminum frames and a PVC coated polyester skin with inflatable tubes to provide a durable, flexible, and strong hull design– with efficient lines, rigidity, and flotation. Best of all, they pack small and travel light!
The 17′ Jensen Recreation is the lightest tandem Jensen cruising canoe. At 58 pounds in fiberglass, it is stable and makes an excellent boat for the beginner day tripper. Paddlers of all skill levels will appreciate the ease of paddling and its straight tracking quality.
This short, wide canoe is stable enough to "set the screws" to a 6 pound largemouth bass exploding on your top water frog or lay back and relax in as you watch a mid summer's night meteor shower. The slightly rockered bottom makes the Fisherman maneuverable, while the boat's shallow draft will get you into places other boats only desire to go.
The Heron is a compact, maneuverable tandem canoe that answers all requests. It's the smallest tandem canoe in our General Touring family. Inexperienced paddlers like its stability, while adept paddlers appreciate its efficiency. Because of it's smaller size, the Heron is a practical boat for day trips on lake, while also performing well on smaller rivers and streams. Keep one at the cabin for the kids, or keep one for leisurely float trips down your favorite trout stream.
