SpitFire is our redesign of the classic Adirondack pack canoe, shouldered to improve dryness and to allow more efficient, more vertical, strokes. The paddler sits slightly off the canoe bottom for great stability - just as in a kayak - and paddles with a double-blade paddle. Spitfire is larger and more efficient than the Rushton originals, increasing speed and stability, and adjusting for today's larger paddlers. Differential shear, differential rocker, asymmetrical hull shape and shouldered cross-section combine to make SpitFire the most sophisticated pack canoe ever designed.

Canoe on a lake, troll a bay, shoot a river, carry it into a wilderness pond... The Scout may be small, but that doesn't limit its uses. In fact, smallness is its biggest asset. Only 13 feet in length, the Scout stores easily in a garage or boat house, or on deck of a cruising yacht. And weighing only 34 pounds (Kevlar model), it's a boat that a person really can tote into a remote lake.

A good fit for smaller paddlers, those who pack light, and people who prefer a shorter canoe. At 16'6" you can add a center seat to make it a maneuverable solo, as this is the most friendly length to switch between solo and tandem paddling.

Length: 16’ 8" Materials: Expedition Kevlar, Kevlar Fusion, Carbon Fusion. The Composite Dumoine is a favorite among Swift staff members to paddle and to trip with. Designer John Winters refers to it as the modern Prospector. It has all the outstanding performance characteristics of the much loved Royalex Dumoine but is much lighter and sleeker in shape.

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.
