and turns heads wherever it is seen.

ease. Its 13¼ depth and full bows make it exceptionally seaworthy
in rough water, an excellent, stable, family canoe.

The 16' Wilderness Express has become one of our
most popular models. Its' generous beam and depth allows for carrying
packs side by side, its lower sheerline is not affected by wind.
Moderate rocker gives it manouverability and good tracking. No unnecessary
bulk has been built into the design. Its rounded hull shape is very
seaworthy and together with its beam is very predictable and safe.
The 16' Wilderness Express is an all round exceptional performer.
