The Angler 14 is not so much a “here to there” canoe as it is a canoe to make the most of where your might be. Steady, reassuring, reliable yet light, it is particularly well-suited to sportsmen, but also makes a great “cottage” boat or summer camp canoe.
With a durable, foam-cored Royalex® by Spartech® hull deadening sound and insulating from cold water, the beamy (39” wide) shallow arch hull of the Angler 14 offers rock-solid stability and a superb platform for hunting, fishing, bird-watching and photography. It is quick, short, and light-weight, making it easy to handle on and off the water, responsive on the water, and tolerant of paddlers on a learning curve who want a stable “poke around” canoe.

Materials
Royalex® By Spartech®
Royalex® by Spartech® is a vacuum-formed sheet laminate consisting of external vinyl layers enclosing multiple ABS plastic layers and a foam core. Each sheet is designed specifically for the intended use of that canoe. All combinations are durable and moderately light-weight. It is resistant to impact, yet has "memory" that allows it to absorb impact and return to original form. Royalex® by Spartech® is repairable should the worst-case scenario ever occur.
*Colors may vary slightly from those shown. Color combinations will vary from those shown in catalog and are unique for each boat produced. Variations in color are not covered by warranty.
