General Touring
General Touring canoes are a blend of all types of performace. They have medium lengths and are generous in width and depth. They track well, travel easily and carry a fair load. The only limitation to these canoes stems from their versatiltiy - as they do everything well, they don't do any single thing best.
Performance Touring
Performance Touring canoes deliver easy speed and long glide, with significant capacity when needed. They are generally longer and a bit slimmer than other canoes. Although performance designs don't strictly require skilled paddlers, they will perform best in experienced hands and be enjoyed most by those people.
Sports & Leisure
Sports and Leisure canoes are steady, maneuverable and easy to control. They are made for paddlers who go short distances and only carry small amounts of gear. People who enjoy photography, bird watching, fishing and hunting are a perfect fit for these canoes.
Down River
Down River touring canoes are a versatile craft that excel in fast rivers, but can also be paddled efficiently in lakes. These are very stable and very maneuverable canoes that handle moving waters easily and are bothered very little by external upsetting forces.
Expedition
Expedition canoes are the largest designs, excelling in two dimensions. They haul more weight than other designs, and do it safely on vast lakes, big rivers, and tidal waters where waves can be large. They also work well for gentle trips by sizeable groups and families.
