The Atkinson Traveler is modeled after the famous Maine guide canoe. Designed for use as a tandem day tripper, wilderness tripper, and for canoe sailing, this sturdy, attractive craft is the ideal tandem canoe.
Equally suited for tandem paddling or canoe sailing, the Atkinson Traveler's low
profile and modest rocker allows for quick and responsive maneuvering even in windy
situations and light rapids.
The wilderness tripper will comes enjoy the Atkinson Traveler's generous carrying capacity just as the professional northwoods guides once did. Weighing in at 75 lbs., the Atkinson Traveler is a managable portage for two paddlers.
The Atkinson Traveler truly shines as a sailing canoe. Outfitted with a 44 sq. ft. lateen sail and rope rudder its modest rocker and ample buoyancy in the quarters and amidships provides the perfect balance of comfort and performance. Steering can be accomplished with either rudder or paddle. As always, if you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me.
