Performance:
This voyageur-style canoe was designed for a variety of water conditions. Indeed, it is the choice canoe for the Boy Scouts of California in their open-sea circumnavigations of Catalina Island! Turns on a dime. Capable in white water. Good on lakes, big rivers, or mountain rivers. Poor tracking. Feels slippery initially but recovers with excellent secondary stability.
Pick up in Clarksdale Mississippi -- or we will drive to your location! --

Description from Manufacturer:
The Mariner was first built by Western Canoeing in the fall of 1991. Our chief designer, James van Nostrand created the design to complement the Voyageur and Montreal canoes. The Mariner features a shallow arch hull, moderate rocker and keelless bottom. Turns and maneuvers that are impossible in the larger canoes are easily accomplished in the Mariner. The Mariner is ideal for a small group or large family. It will accommodate up to 8 paddlers, or easily carry three to five paddlers with camping gear for a one or two week trip. The Mariner has been paddled in a wide range of conditions. Its shallow arch hull and flared sides provide both good initial and secondary stability. The hull has several inches of rocker and is easy to maneuver. Its shallow draft allows it to be used in relatively low water levels in rivers and lakes. The Mariner's flared ends provide great buoyancy resulting in a drier more stable ride in rough conditions. The Boy Scouts of Greater Los Angeles have a fleet of more than 16 Mariners and regularly circumnavigate Catalina Island, 28 miles off the California Coast. |
