Title: Re: Solo canoes: a penny for your thoughts! Post by Bannock on Apr 10th, 2009 at 6:29pm
I like the Bell Magic fine. A buddy has one and I've paddled it. To me it does seem to have limited capacity. It'll will probably be fine for 3 weeks, but things might be a bit tight.
I owned an Encounter and I didn't care for it. Too much depth/freeboard. Really caught the wind and because it rode so high even when loaded it felt unstable. IMHO, the Prism is a much better solo tripper especially for a moderate length trip. Personally, I'd choose a Prism over either a Magic or Encounter. I paddle a Sawyer Autumn Mist for tripping and I like it a lot, but I like a bit shorter boat. I also own a wenonah Argosy which I also like. I have not used it for a trip, but the thought has crossed my mind. I think it would perform well. |
