12' Wee Rob Double Paddle Canoe
Wee Rob Double Paddle Canoe
Price (subject to change) $2,250
This type of canoe was introduced in the mid-19th century. Paddlers in Europe and North America would take these boats down rivers and canals and across lakes and bays.
Iain Oughtred designed this version using modern materials and construction techniques, resulting in easier maintenance while maintaining traditional appearance.
At 33 pounds, this boat is easily transported on roof racks and carried up the beach.
The full bow enables the canoe to ride over the waves, rather than plunge through them. The hollow waterline forward transitions into a full stern, which prevents squatting when paddled hard. A small skeg faired into the sternpost aids tracking.
This lightweight canoe has substantial strength, with laminated yellow cedar inner and outer stems at bow and stern joined to an internal keelson and external keel. To prevent chafe, brass half-oval extends from stem-head to sternpost. The 4mm planking is further protected by bilge runners, also fitted with brass. The laminated yellow cedar beams fore and aft and the spaced inwales faired into breasthooks at both bow and stern provide rigidity to the gunwales.
Floors and easily removed central floorboards provide additional strength and help keep the paddler and gear dry.
The backrest is adjustable fore and aft to change the trim of the canoe to suit the paddler.
With crowned breasthooks and beams and a gently sweeping sheer the Wee Rob is an especially attractive boat from any angle.
