The Heron's featherweight Kevlar®/Graphite construction with an Airex foam core weighs a mere 42 pounds, making solo portages a breeze.
Quiet, serene, solo paddling in those hard to get to places is where the Wee Lassie excels. This canoe is a modified version of an old Henry Rushton design, which is configured with a low seat and paddled with a double bladed paddle. It also can be paddled in the kneeling position as a free style canoe. The short length and narrow slight V-bottom hull makes this an ideal canoe for shallow, twisty streams and rivers. Flared sides give it good final stability and make it very seaworthy on larger bodies of water with wind and waves. With our light lay-ups, this boat is probably the lightest canoe made and makes it a joy to portage and paddle. If you enjoy exploring places where most canoes cannot go, try the Wee Lassie. Also can be used as a free style canoe.
It’s a high volume canoe with symmetrical rocker for predictable back ferries, and perfectly sized for four barrels or packs. Or bring the kids and Lassie, then toss in the cooler, and everyone will feel stable and safe day-paddling in the B 17.

The Mohawk Odyssey’s functional styling combines flared-sides for a dryer ride and exceptional final stability. A tuck-in narrows the center section to make solo paddling easier on the upper body. The Mohawk Odyssey 14 canoe is nimble and fun to paddle, especially on twisty rocky rivers streams. It’s also a fine craft for taking out onto the lake for a spot of fishing or some nature-watching.
The Argosy is made for solo exploration of rivers and streams, whether paddling the Missouri River at dawn or running the riffles and eddies of the Shenendoah. It's nimble enough to carry you through cross currents and over eddylines. It has added depth and volume to handle rough water and even whitewater, and plenty of rocker in the keel for maneuverability.
If you paddle the wild places in Canada and the U.S., you will find dozens of them. That’s no accident! These canoes are ultra-light, incredibly tough and very stable. When you get caught paddling hard into the face of a headwind, you’ll be very glad you’re paddling a Quetico 17. It rides high on the waves and takes in very little water over the gunwales.
