Title: Re: Canoe choice

Mad_Mat, thanks for your perspective. (I'm still fumbling around a bit trying to post, etc. to this website.)
I did look on-line at the Clipper you mentioned, but think that it is not the canoe that my wife and I want.
I really should post here our criteria (if I can "paste" them in).

•      More seaworthy than our Malecite (more freeboard, higher ends.)
•      Lightweight, but probably not as light as the Malecite.  58 pounds max?
•      Attractive.  (The Langford Prospectors are more attractive to me than the Malecite  because of their more pronounced sheer.
•      Mostly for flat water, hence tracks as well as the Malecite
•      Seats suitable for kneeling and sitting.
•      No tractor or bucket seats.
Ah! Success.  
Thanks again.
