Graceful, elegant lines and a stunning hull design highlight our extremely popular Trader model. The Trader is our most visually striking canoe. Crafted for the intermediate paddler who appreciates the fine lines of a well designed touring canoe, the Trader is ideal for tandem touring on flat waters. Shown with red cedar option.
Age old woodcraft skills of the Native American tribes provide the foundation for the development of the wood canoe. When faced with shortages of Native canoes, resourceful early Americans borrowed heavily from the birchbark canoe construction and design details to develop the first modern wood canoe prototypes. Using woodsense, readily available material and clever ingenuity, they transformed the one-of-a-kind birchbarks into practical crafts that could be readily produced to exacting specifications. In the short 125 years that trace the white man's influence on these canoes, evolution has made them faster, lighter and more durable, but has left intact the fundamental eleganced of the basic design. Built of renewable organic materials, they are durable, easily repaired and built to last a lifetime.
