Lance Report post Posted May 3, 2007 I'm looking for a canoe. I don't know if I like the shallow design or not? Why are you selling it? Is it tipsy? I would be using it for lots of kids and don't know if the shallow type would be my first choice? Anyone have any thoughts on the subject? Lance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rabbit Report post Posted May 3, 2007 Lance, A wider canoe will give more stability. The shallow-V like on mine or Mad River Canoes give a higher secondary stability when tilted some already. Flat bottomed canoes have a higher initial stability. For lots of kids, I would be inclined to get a plastic laminate canoe for banging around, like a longer, wider Old Town Camper canoe. (I can't see kids, gelcoat and rocky shorelines being compatible.) Longer canoes are also more stable than a shorter canoe. http://www.oldtowncanoe.com/canoes/anatomy...ossSection.html http://www.oldtowncanoe.com/canoes/generalFamily/ I have two canoes and use this one about once every other year.
