Sporty handling characteristics. Impressive tripping capabilities. Sensational styling. These virtues begin to define the SRT. This is a superior solo canoe for river tripping. Close to home or far away, use your imagination. Navigate tight winding streams with graceful precision. Explore intimate backwaters at your leisure. Exercise the freedom to choose your destinations. Like to expand your adventures? The SRT is amazingly versatile. Every segment of the hull interacts for optimum overall performance. Its asymmetrical form responds extremely well in a variety of conditions typically encountered by avid river travelers.

A noticeable advantage in rough water is the depth and fullness of the hull above the waterline. Generous flare from bow to stern combined with a shallow arch mid-section and soft chines provide smooth, predictable handling. Secondary stability and firmness are outstanding when leaned to carve turns or deflect waves. Recessed shoulders reduce the beam and also allow more freeboard at the gunwales when heeled. Reliability in moderate to intermediate whitewater is excellent when combined with experience and good judgement.

A slender hull width and efficient waterline shape lets you cruise with surprising quickness on both moving water and lake regions. The stern is designed with moderate rocker and a distinct hollow vee shape to stay on track. Fullness in the mid-section is carried behind center allowing ample capacity to distribute tripping gear. Additional rocker forward makes the bow more playful than the stern providing excellent maneuverability.

The SRT is designed to be used primarily when kneeling with a straight shaft paddle for enhanced control, but you may choose to sit occasionally to change posture or stretch your legs when traveling. The tracking nature of the stern allows for use of a bent shaft paddle and switching sides if desired to cover distance quicker on open water.

Highest quality laminated hull constructions yield a lightweight, durable aquatic vehicle that is responsive on the water and comfortable to carry.
