Solo Canoes

Solo canoes are available in two designs: symmetrical and asymmetrical hull.

For those who prefer to sit or kneel in the centre of the canoe, a symmetrical hull is offered. The leading edge of the seat is amidships, placing the paddler's weight at the centre of buoyancy. No centre thwart for carrying can be fitted with this design.

For those who wish to tour with a pack, an asymmetrical hull is offered with the widest point, hence centre of buoyancy, aft of centre. The seat is correspondingly fitted aft of centre, placing the paddler's weight near the centre of buoyancy. The pack in the bow can be adjusted in order to trim the canoe. A centre thwart is fitted as a carrying yoke.

Both the Lutra and Sylva models are available as solo canoes.
