Muskoka

Muskoka, Canada is a vast district of 1600 shimmering lakes, thundering waterfalls, sheer granite cliffs, aromatic pines, and dense maple forests.

This model developed from a custom request to develop a hybrid of our Gander River Canoe and Buccaneer X-tra Wide into an elegant and functional craft.

The design was to have ample room and stability for 2 paddlers and gear. It was also to have a hull shape that could handle choppy water and promote stability while paddling flat water.

The beam is wide for a canoe. To keep paddling easy, a strong tumblehome panel was added. This shape will also help keep water spray from entering the cockpit. The fine entry will split small waves and the fuller shape will keep the hull from digging into waves too deep.

The stern end has a small transom that stays above the waterline when paddling flat water. When moving over waves or choppy water, the flare of the bottom panels to meet the transom will help prevent the stern from "squatting" too deep in the water. Up to a 3hp motor may be mounted on the transom.
