The Quetico - paddling version from £3,000; sailing version from £3,900

The Quetico Open Canoe is a quality solo/tandem canoe designed by the famous canoe designer John Winters.

The Quetico is built using resin infusion/resin transfer moulding, Carbon/Kevlar, and a Soric core in the base of the hull, and fitted with lightweight aluminium gunwales. The use of resin infusion/resin transfer moulding enables us to build with the optimum ratio of resin to reinforcement giving a strong, stiff & lightweight hull.

We offer the Quetico paddling canoe with tandem seats & a kneeling thwart or as a solo boat. All Queticos have small bow & stern buoyancy tanks to give positive buoyancy, and tie down points for end air bags.
