Pack Boats
Traditional Canadian Canoes Featuring a Kayak Style Seat
Pack boats represent an ever growing trend in both the UK and North America, a hybrid somewhere between a canoe or a kayak. These crossover boats feature a kayak style seat offering lumbar support and comfort for paddlers, in a way which a traditional bench style seat can’t compete with. Easier to enter and exit than a traditional closed cockpit kayak and well suited to those who wish to have the ease of loading up a canoe but with the efficiency of a kayak. With a lower centre of gravity, pack boats generate a feeling of greater stability and (relatively) lightweight these canoes are efficient and easy to paddle, particularly if the wind picks up.
