Wooden Skeena Rapid Canoe

 
  For years, professional canoe guides and outfitters have relied on plastic or fiberglass for their fleets of boats. Each of them has its own merit. One is inexpensive, the other light. But none of them has the beautiful look.

At Woodenboat USA™, we are determined to make something stunning beautiful and at the same time strong, durable and light weight.

How can we achieve all of these? All of out canoes are assembled from strips of top graded Canadian cedar (a very rare soft yet very strong timber) and then encapsulated in fiber glass with epoxy resin.

  Woodenboat USA™ Skeena Rapid canoes are completely handcrafted and it typically takes about 200-500 hours to build one. We still use the traditional method of constructions while integrating the highest quality of materials currently available. Strips of cedars are joined together by hand and then encapsulated in fiberglass bonded in place with epoxy resin then coated with marine vanish. This combination of fiberglass and epoxy is very strong and completely transparent so that the beauty of the wood will be protected for generations..
   
 

This is an excellent touring design that borders on the performance category. This canoe only weights about 49 lbs and can be put on top of your car or hand carry to the lake on day trips, family picnics, fishing or expeditions. Comes with two paddles for a perfect smooth ride.
