Sprint Racing Canoes - C15 and C4's
Our beautifully finshed wooden C4 and C15 racing canoes are fast and famous. Clubs across North America rely on our boat for their fine finish, performance and durability. We know that boats in your club have to survive in order to finish the race, so Ted builds them with his well proven construction process. Call us today to reserve a construction spot.
We have recently redesigned our famous C15 racing canoe, adding small but noticeable improvements towards the perfect balance of tracking, speed and versatility. The underwater profile of the boat (the rocker) has been altered to reduce the tendency of the bow to oversteer, while the aft has a weathervane effect. Underwater sections of the boat have been rounded to reduce frictional drag, especially at lower speeds. For stronger paddlers, the top-end speed has been extended by reducing the tendency of the stern to squat. Whether the crew is light or heavy, focuses on technique or strength, they will find the new C15 design sleek, superior, and inspiring. Built To Win!
The Primary difference between our boats and the traditional boats is the construction technique
we use. Our boats require less maintenance and may be maintained by relatively unskilled
volunteers. The hull is a high strength to weight ratio monocoque structure consisting of a
western red cedar strip planked hull sheathed inside and out with fibreglass cloth. The fibreglass
is impregnated with WEST SYSTEM(R) epoxy resin effectively stabilising the moisture content
of the wood. Any future maintenance will be to the final varnish coating rather than to the wood
surface.
As a finishing touch, vinyl lettering that identifies the sponsor and your club will be applied in your
choice of colours. We enjoy building for the clubs and can appreciate the effort that goes into raising money for new boats. With this in mind, we have tried to keep our price as low as possible without sacrificing quality.
