This is a touring
canoe that has nearly the speed and glide of a cruiser. With its sleek
bow, straight keel-line, and shallow-arch hull, this is the fastest
Royalex hull made. It also delivers the best tracking and glide.
Though not quite as efficient as our composite
types, the Royalex 17' Sundowner paddles so well that it is often raced
in challenging conditions such as shallow, rocky streams and rivers. It
is so efficient in fact, that this design is often used as a "class"
canoe, where race organizers use the 17 Sundowner as the only canoe
design permitted in the class, or as the baseline for judging other
designs and hulls. When you are not racing,
the Royalex 17' Sundowner is a fast, efficient touring canoe for an
evening's paddle after work, or a short camping trip on local rivers and
lakes. And with our expertise building Royalex canoes, it will provide
you with years of rewarding paddling. |
