Like seeing what looks like a 14 foot Scott Kevlar canoe in the pictures. Special canoe to me, and mine has seen a lot of water…Eric

It is a 17.5 Clipper Tripper. At only 54 lbs, it’s a pleasure to transport and paddle!

Mine is about 50 pounds too, Jeff, and a joy to hoist up on the shoulders and tramp through the bush.  Also a joy to see on the water on a sunny day…Eric

Good Morning and Happy New Year all!

 

Anyone interested in going paddling this afternoon?

 

Somewhere near HRM? Maybe about 1 - 130 for a couple of hours or so?

 

Get 2024 started off paddling?
