Solo Canoes - Designs by John Winters

The solo paddler is the most demanding of all wilderness paddlers. Rugged individualists, they are highly skilled, demanding, and form strong personal bonds with their boats. To please their specific styles and interests we offer three solo canoes designed by John Winters, an ardent solo paddler himself. Fast, maneuverable and seaworthy, they are the first Canadian "all-purpose" solo canoes.
