A benchmark for downriver canoes, the Legend 16"s shallow arch, Royalex by Spartech hull and moderate rocker make this canoe durable, nimble and responsive on twisty rivers, yet respectable on open waters. It is also stable enough for learning whitewater paddling but challenging enough to help more experienced paddlers continue developing their skills.Designed to repel wave and splash to keep the interior dry, it also has the capacity for extended, mixed-water trips.
