Canoes

PAL 16’ During its long history of building canoes, the Chestnut Canoe Company produced a range of models they called Pleasure canoes. One model proved to have such universal appeal that it became the definition of a general-purpose craft. This model began life as the Ajax but it grew to be so popular that it was renamed Pal to reflect the affection owners felt while using it. Nova Craft has painstakingly reproduced the lines of the original Pal to provide today’s paddlers with the opportunity to own one of the best general-purpose traditional canoes ever made. It’s a great choice for paddlers who want a canoe that does it all well. Nicely suited for flatwater trips or short outings for sightseeing or fishing, the Pal handles rough water well and feels comfortable in windy conditions. Indeed, it’s a pleasure to paddle either tandem or solo. Once you paddle one you’ll know why owners call it “My Pal”. Made in Canada.

**THIS IS A USED CANOE AND IS BEING SOLD IN "AS IS" CONDITION. This canoe was built by Langford in 1970 and used as their model canoe at the 1970 Sportsman Show. Bought directly from Langford right after the Show, it has since seen hundreds of kilometers through eastern and western Canada and the United States with only one owner until now. Treated like a heirloom, it has been re-canvassed three times and is in excellent condition.
