My New Solo Canoe - A Tour of "The Tourist"

Жыл бұрын

After years of renting, I finally decided to get my own canoe. I got this beautiful boat from H2O Canoe Company in Tavistock Ontario. I knew the boat for me was the 14-6 from their Solo Series, in the Pro Lite build system. It took a few weeks of indecisiveness to choose which colour I wanted, but I finally decided to go with the Carbon Kevlar finish with red woven fabric. I was considering some other options, but I knew nothing would compare to the beauty of a red canoe on the water. I decided to name it “The Tourist”.

Congrats! I love the name and it's definitely a beauty. Now it's just pack and go for you.

Thanks! And yes it's a great feeling being able to go on a trip without coordinating with anyone else. The canoe was always the last piece of 'gear' that I needed.

What a beauty, congrats! So many people rave about Swift, but H2O is my dream canoe!

Thanks! I think Swift makes amazing boats too and I've enjoyed all of the ones that I've paddled, but this H2O was definitely the right one for me.

What canoe are you planning on getting? I actually got this back in April (video is a bit late) so I had it with me for all of my 2022 trips

@@AlgonquinBeyond I wanted the nova craft 16 - but based on my budget and after more research, I decided for Esquif 16 prospecteur. :)

Lovely boat, going to watch your trips now to see how it handles 😀. Jeff at H2O is great, him and his team built you a beautiful canoe! I've been using a H2O pack canoe 12foot for the past couple years but I think something longer like your 14.6 is definitely more versatile for longer trips and if you want to bring a dog or small child.

@AlgonquinBeyond Жыл бұрын

Thanks! I have a couple trip videos up where I'm paddling this canoe and I still need to edit a handful more. The 14'6 is about as small as I would want to go with gear in the boat. Now that I have a dog that tags along, even the 14'6 is almost starting to feel small. If she was a bigger dog (she's only 35lbs), it would be pretty tight.

@@AlgonquinBeyond looking forward to the upcoming videos!! I hear you, if I go with my kid and more gear I just bring my 16foot prospector out, it's a lot more stable as well since it is so wide, safety/stability is more important than a fast boat when traveling with a small child😅
