Pack Boats
Open Canadian Canoe Style Pack Boats
Pack Boats are a popular style of paddling, offering the hull style of an open canadian canoe but with a comfortable kayak style seat with backrest and foot pegs. This allows a Pack Boat to be paddled with either a kayak style paddle for top level touring performance or even a shorter open canoe paddle. Pack Boats generally have a great overall carry capacity with plenty of space for kit. Pack Boats from Swift Canoes are super lightweight weighing as little as 10.8kg making lifting and loading easy. There are even some Canoes that can be used in a Pack Boat paddling style.
