The H2O Canadian 176 Canoe is a close replica of an “early settler canoe” originally discovered in Southwestern Ontario in the early 1900s.
The resulting combination may just be the ultimate “Canadian” canoe. The essence and versatility of traditional canoes is captured with a symmetrical-style hull and re-curved ends, made famous by First Nations peoples.
To reduce wind resistance and maximize efficiency, a slightly longer length and narrower beam are carefully combined with sharp entry and exit lines and a lower sheer.
The Canadian’s shallow arch hull design and shoe keel provide a rare blend of performance and styling sought by many canoe builders but seldom achieved. H2O Canoe Company Canadian 16- 6 is a stable, well-mannered, and predictable craft, which successfully blends efficiency and a user-friendly nature, while retaining a distinctly traditional “Canadian canoe appearance.”
