Notes on Construction

QUETICO
18' Cruising Canoe

A truly great cruising canoe! This is a wood and canvas canoe modeled from the Chestnut Cruiser. It will carry a load swiftly and comfortably; its gently arched sheer line keeps this boat especially dry, even in heavy seas. Pal, a replica of the Chestnut Pal

If your type of canoeing is canoe camping for a week or more in areas like the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in Minnesota or Quetico Provincial Park in Ontario, this is a wonderful canoe for you. While very seaworthy, its initial stability is less than the guide or pleasure models.

"This canoe is just what we were looking for to get along in the wilderness. Thanks for making such a wonderful craft."
