my personal hobbies I would like to offer my findings In their use The type of canoe to buy of course depends on the use to which the canoe Is to be put If your canoeing is limited to the local lake with just an occasional paddle around then almost any canoe will suit you However for a canoe trip your canoe should be chosen with greater care For carrying capacity the canoe should be at least 35 inches wide by 14 inches deep For short weekend trips a 14foot canoe is fine but for a trip of a week or more the canoe should be IS feel long Type of construction vanes considerably with Individual taste but weight an important factor if there are portages on your planned route If you have many or long portages a canoe should weigh no more than lbs The things to compare in canoe construction are weight ease of repair and maintenance As a general rule aluminum canoes tend to be a little heavier and harder to repair than either or canvas Canvas of course is more fragile than the other varieties Straight canoes in the lb class arc usually very flexible This may be all right as far as durability is concerned and strength as they tend to give roher than crack when a rock or other obstruction Is hit but this also makes for hard paddling when the bottom bounces with every stroke of the paddle We have found the beat canoe to be of cedar the same as the regular canvas canoe only covered with instead of canvas The combination of and cedar makes a very rigid yet light canoe The one I use weighs In at lbs and is feet long 36 inches wide and 14 Inches deep This canoe has a carrying capacity of close to V ton and is exceptionally easy to paddle when loaded Another thing to check closely when buying a canoe is the weight Many canoes are ad at far less than their actual weight A reputable manufacturer or dealer won mind you checking the ad vertized weight on an accurate scale One thing we have noticed of late is the apparent ignorance of motor boat operators to the fact that canoes and sailboats have the way over motor boats All motor boats must slow down when approaching or passing same Th rule of boating safety is being ignored by many boat operators throughout Canada even in
