Bear Mountain - Steve Killing Canoe

Steve Killing's canoe designs...

Freedom 17

A modern efficient tripping canoe thaty features an assymetrical hull with a slim beam just aft of the middle and filled out stern sections to reduce the resistance. The genly rockered profile lets the boat turn with ease.

An excellent solo canoe due to the slight tumblehome but it is often found with two avid canoeists heading off on a fast responsive canoe trip.

Freedom 15

The Prospector models built by the Chestnut Canoe Company were made in lengths from 12 to 18 ft. filling a need for a canoe with greater carrying capacity than the Pleasure and Cruiser models but not as large as the Freight canoes.

This model, the 15' 'Ranger' is a sweet shape and Ron Frenette of Canadian Canoes decided we should have it in our catalogue. It has the same end shape and highly rockered hull of our 16' Prospector.

With a flattened shallow arch bottom and full ends, the Ranger is stable, strong and a good load carrier. If you are looking for a canoe in the fifteen foot range with some history and good all round paddling characteristics, this might be the one you are looking for.
