Oak Orchard Canoes
|
Our own Oak Orchard Canoes feature fine craftsmanship, good
performance and safety at a reasonable price. We have found them to be a great
value compared to mass merchant box store canoes that are heavy, slow, tipsy
and rot in the sunlight. If you're looking at lower priced canoes your other
options are used ones that perhaps have seen better days or a plastic beast
that is also wear dated. Why not get the most value for your money? Our Oak
Orchard canoes are carefully made one at a time to last as long as you do!
Standard equipment for our Square Stern canoes include vinyl gunwales, fiberglass
seats and aluminum thwarts and carry handles. Our Saranac and Square Stern models are available with
a center seat (add $100) OR a center seat plus rowing option (add $200) for enhanced versatility.
TheSaranac comes standard with an ash yoke and carry handles
and ash/web seats. We use the highest grade of selectively reinforced Heavy Duty Royalex for maximum durability! It's
hard to find a more versatile canoe than our Saranac.
Our
Kevlar Wee Lassie rivals those costing hundreds more
and will, like all our other models, prove to be a good value years after your
purchase.
Premier grade wood trim is standard on the Wee
Lassie.

 Wee Lassie ...........only 19 pounds in
Kevlar !
The Wee Lassie is a
unique concept, it's more like the size of a small kayak but not at all
enclosed. You are totally free to stretch your legs and get in or out any way
you please. -No cockpit to wiggle into. You sit low in the Wee Lassie. -No
getting blown around by the wind.
Beautiful Ash gunwales accent each side of
the Wee Lassie and are perfectly quiet when you
set down your paddle and reach for your camera, perhaps just as a rare River
Otter slips into view.
You may have heard of boats like this that were made
famous in the 1800's by going all over the Adirondacks. Usually they're custom
made and very expensive. Our's is made very sturdy and also reasonably priced.
Several seating options are sold separately.
Just imagine the type of remote
lakes and ponds that now seem reasonable to hike into and go paddling with a 19
lb craft!
Visit our store to get a peek at this great little gem.

Adirondack Guide Boat
Our traditional Guide Boat design blends
the style, grace and verstility of the classic guideboat with modern rugged materials.
The Oak Orchard guideboat is not quite as frivilous as some we've seen. We made a real
effort to keep things practical and sturdy. There's enough wood used in her construction
to let you know you're in a classic but not so much that you'll need to finance it for
ten years or be afraid to really use it and be able to relax.
Stability is excellent on this beautiful
craft. She's just about unaffected by the wind and has excellent turn of speed.
The 14 foot size is perfect in that you have plenty of room to take along a friend
but can still easily go solo. One rowing station is located amidships for solo use
and another is located forward for those times you have company.

Oak Orchard "Saranac"
The Oak Orchard Saranac is made of top quality Heavy duty Royalex and is well reinforced at all critical wear areas. Yes,
Royalex canoes do vary in quality. Others may be cheaper but we choose to use
extra thickness and higher grade material for true long term durability. The
Saranac is an extremely versatile canoe. Very
light for a solo portage yet nearly indestructible. Nice glide and tracking on
lakes yet maneuverable enough for moderate rapids. For many of our customers,
this has proven to be a large enough canoe for a canoe camping trip for two
with gear. The Saranac is also responsive enough
for the solo paddler - just face backwards while sitting in the bow seat. Or choose your Saranac with
an optional center seat (add $100), which is great for kids or solo paddling. A center seat plus rowing option (add $200) is also available. The
Saranac is well equipped with two comfy web seats and
an ash yoke for portaging. |
