Very popular with solo paddlers, it combines the comfort of the web seats with the open stance of the kneeling thwart. The seat uses the same bendy spars as the Comfort seat and is approximately two thirds the depth, and the whole is then mounted at an angle to relieve the pressure on the back of the legs when kneeling.

The true zero maintenance option which can be matched with vinyl gunwales. Ideal if the canoe is to be stored outside on the ground.
Vinyl
Standard on most models, these gunwales are smart, durable and maintenance free. For canoes that will live a hard life, either on whitewater, or just sitting on the patio, they are the obvious choice.
Wood - Standard
Wooden gunwales will make your canoe stand out from the crowd. With an oiled finish they are lovely to the touch. Simply re-coat with oil from time to time to keep them looking good for many years.
Traditionally, canoe gunwales have been made from ash, however, long planks of ash are becoming scarce and occasionally when they are unavailable we use oak instead. Some manufacturers will join shorter lengths, however, our experience is that the join will fail at some point and leave you needing an expensive repair. We prefer to use whole single lengths and hence the reason for switching to oak, which is visually very similar and in fact costs us more!
Wood - Scuppered
Adding practicality to the beauty of the Standard wooden gunwales by adding slots in the inwale. The slots can be used to secure your gear if you don't wish to lace your canoe, however, they really help when emptying water out in the event that you've shipped some over the side or been caught in heavy rain.
