Tandem Canoe Lineup for 2021
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 жов 2024
- We started out building tandem tripping canoes in the back of the Algonquin Outfitters property in 1984. Back then, it was just a small resin shack and a handful of employees figuring out how to make the best canoes possible for trippers headed into Algonquin. Since then a lot has changed, but the heart of our passion has always been for tried and true backcountry trippers. Here's our breakdown of the 2021 lineup, including all the available models, laminates, trims, and options.

I miss the Osprey...loved that boat!
Would love to get a Prospector 15. ....so fine.
Another fine video. Lots to choose from!
ordering my second swift!
I don't want to have to care for wood--and aesthetics are not my #1 priority--but holy balls does that expedition carbon with cherry wood look awesome.
By the way, I would like to learn more about your various composites beyond how they look and that your carbon layups are lighter. Some really specific hair-splitting of the physical properties (pros, cons, strengths, weaknesses, specialties, limitations) of the various materials/ and combinations would be great. I really dig that kind of technical info, and it shows me that a manufacturer has extremely intimate knowledge of their products.
Hi Mitchell, we have a video on 2021 canoe technology that should answer all your questions
@@SwiftCanoeKayak Yeah, I've seen it. It is a bit vague about how the various options really differentiate with the conversation gravitating toward how they look. I can see how they look without being told how they look (Bill really likes to tell us how beautiful everything is), but what I can't see are their other physical properties. Weight, rigidity, elasticity, failure mode, repairability, abrasion resistance, etc...these traits compared and contrasted to each other and how combinations compliment each other.
observation: I want this $5000 composite canoe. And free time to enjoy it. A $60k Jeep would be nice too. And a woman who doesn't gain 5 lbs per year after getting a ring.
Beautiful boats Bill,
Can you tell me whether the current Keewaydin (now asymmetrical) would be more ‘stable’ than early model (90s) Winisks and Kipiwas. I used to paddle those quite a bit then and they were quite twitchy in their initial stability. At times it was even a bit unnerving. I also used to paddle the older symmetrical Keewaydin which was very stable in both initial and final stability.
While I like the idea of a more efficient paddling boat, I don’t think I want to go back to that twitchiness and I’m a fairly experienced canoeist. So I’m now debating between the Keewaydin 17 or a Propector 16/17. Any personal knowledge on this between the assymetricals of the past and the current Keewaydin would be very helpful. Or how the current Prospector would compare in stability to the old Keewaydin?
Thanks very much,
!
Todd
Your Keewaydin line is really slick. Is is possible to get a Keewaydin 17 or 18.6 with a Combi seat?
Not at this time. The 17 and 18 are wider and a solo centre seat isn't likely to be feasible. It's best with a solo seat that's set a few feet back from the yoke.
Why does my 2021 Keewaydin KF have seats riveted through when the ones shown here all have pods for the seats? My gunnels aren't wrapped the same as these either...
Anyone know of any companies selling used swift solo canoes? US or Canada, will travel.
The more I watch these videos, the more confused I get
Iowa Matt - That usually means you need more than one boat!
@@billswift8022 I completely agree
I hear yea, I really wish he would have skipped the build combination (which is important but its own deal - and a bit of show off) and consolidated and spent more time on the specific purpose of the models. Yes, I know he did but you had to skip ahead to get to it. And to be fair to swift, the website does have the boat chooser.
@@adrianlarson658 It would be great if you could call our head office at 1-800-661-1429 and we can help you pick out your ideal boat based on you needs and uses!
