Whitewater canoes & Outfitting Accessories w/ layout plan
Outfitting for white water canoes is a very exacting process that ensures a reliable recovery from capsizing with floatation bags that remain well anchored inside the hull even in the strongest currents. Please view our line sketch for suggested layout of D-ring anchors.

Whitewater canoes
White water canoes are built for manoeuvrability with more rocker (curvature from bow to stern) and fuller ends for buoyancy in standing waves in rivers. Most of these canoes are built in plastics, the Old Town’s Crosslink Polyethylene or Royalex, a 5 layer composite of vinyl outside layers, ABS plastic and foam core inside. The plastics will flex and not crack open so easily, when impacting river rocks. Inside these hulls, we glue down D-rings to hold floatation air bags in place, if the canoe capsizes. Glued down knee pads make an important contribution to comfort and control for the paddler. Every canoe requires painter ropes (that float) attached bow and stern to be grabbed by the paddlers of a capsized canoe, in rapids.
