Discover Solo Paddling Freedom with the Old Town Discovery 119 Canoe
Embark on unforgettable aquatic adventures right from Laval with the exceptional Old Town Discovery 119 Canoe. Designed for the solo paddler, this compact and agile canoe is your perfect companion for exploring the serene lakes and calm rivers that abound in and around our vibrant city. Whether you're a seasoned paddler or new to the joys of the water, the Discovery 119 offers an unparalleled blend of stability, maneuverability, and robust construction, making every outing a pure delight.
Imagine gliding effortlessly across the peaceful waters of the Rivière des Prairies, or exploring the quiet coves of Lac des Deux Montagnes near Sainte-Dorothée. The Discovery 119 is engineered to make these experiences accessible and enjoyable. Its distinguishing feature is a shallow arched hull, which translates into incredible stability without compromising on the ability to turn and track smoothly. This design ensures that you can focus on the breathtaking scenery and the rhythm of your paddle stroke, rather than worrying about balance. At just 22.7 kg (50 lb) and measuring 3.6 m (11 ft 9 in), it's manageable enough for solo excursions, yet boasts a generous 204 kg (450 lb) capacity for all your gear or a furry friend.
The secret to the Discovery 119's remarkable durability lies in its construction. Crafted from a three-layer polyethylene hull, this canoe is built to withstand the rigors of recreational use. This robust material is highly resistant to abrasions, making it ideal for navigating shallow sections of rivers or pulling up onto sandy shores. Unlike more delicate canoes, the polyethylene hull requires virtually no maintenance, freeing up more of your precious time for exploration and relaxation. The ultra-resistant vinyl gunwales, combined with comfortable ash and nylon web benches and ash thwarts, provide a comfortable and sturdy platform for your paddling journey. Plus, with comfortable carry handles, transport to your favorite launch point in Laval or nearby Fabreville is made simpler.
