Get to the point. JFC.
Rocker is lift in the bow & stern at the keel line, not the sheer line.....you’re off your rocker!😂
I love this! Very informative! Thank you so much!!!
Definitely helpful
Awesome explanations!
Thanks for the information! Just got my first canoe yesterday, 17ft fiberglass for 100$.. I'll have it on lake superior Saturday
Thanks, that helped me
Great basic intro. Wish I had seen this before I first got involved. Either way, these are items anyone that paddles more than a few times will want to learn, and internalize. I think you misspoke about Rocker, you said "along the top", whereas it doesn't matter the shape of the top, except the amount of wind it catches. Rocker is the curvature of the bottom.
So for tripping in Algonquin that will be done solo and my dog for up to 10 days what do you think is a good choice? A 16 would be fine or too big and from what you are saying is a flat bottom with little rocker may be best?
Algonquin trips are totally fine with a 16-foot tandem canoe (assuming it's just you and your dog with all your gear). If you keep the dog towards the front along with some gear, it should balance out pretty well. I'd go for very little rocker if you're mostly on flat water, and any outfitter will provide the best option which is a kevlar, asymmetrical canoe that's light, very little rocker and is wide enough at the 16-foot length to have a big dog, 1 person and all the needed gear. That's my 2 cents! Cheers,
Great candid video! Love the format where you just shoot out important information. What’s a good hull design for something like Lake Tahoe where they have some light swells? Thx mate
Steve you really need to work on your presentation.
Rocker: think of this as the rails of a rocking chair. the more the curve the easier it is to pivot.
hull shape: the more rounded, the more the canoe acts as a weeble-wobble (poor initial stability good secondary stability or recovery from a wobble) VS flat bottom which is more like a coffee mug....strong initial stability- 'hard to tip over'/ poor secondary stability 'when it does START to tip, its going to be hard to stop' characteristic.
a Keel is a another component to some canoes(long ridge that on bottom of boat that runs the bow to stern. a good open water/large lake canoe will have this. it makes a canoe track straight, though it adds a little drag. you will see these on many aluminum Grumman and Alumi-craft type canoe brands.
the prospector/tripper type Canoe Steve has here is a best compromise of all characteristics. this shape does everything well (not the best at any one thing, more a Jack of all trades).
lastly, consider where the canoe will be stored. if its an outdoor canoe.....aluminum Grumman or similar is the #1 choice to get 'your feet wet' into Canoeing. used they are between $100-$400 and will last 2 lifetimes outside. triple poly (strong polymars) canoes are a good choice too. Old Town is probably the best deal in used canoes $400-$600 range
I myself use a Old Town Tripper made of Royalex (GREAT boat).
Unnecessary
@@riverninja23 its was fully necessary.
Totally necessary brotha
What about open waters like the ocean?
You can take a canoe on the ocean (and come back) but it's not something you should be considering if you are looking for your first canoe.
@@highloughsdrifter1629 Thanks.
I was able to carry a canoe alone at 14, I don't remember it being that heavy tho
as a canadian i inherited my family's worst canoe when i turned 19. It's 12 feet long, has a flat bottom, but is only 30 inches wide, and for some reason has 2 seats. even my 12 year old daughter finds it extremely tippy. it stinks.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you. I’m new and purchased a second hand blue hole 15ft canoe. Now I know more about its round and wide haul and have been wondering if more than 2 people can be in it at a time.
Buy a Radisson only way to go!
Hey that was informative and fun but you did not address why you wear a life vest in a pool where you're able to stand. Maybe you're just very humble and don't want to show off your muscles and 6 pack?
Thinks he has a fancy pfd and wanted to show it off 🤔
'Primary' stability, not 'initial' stability.
I chunked my money in the garbage, and went to a different video
I'm experienced kayaker and canoeist. You gave the right info but not very well organized. Some diagrams would have helped to explain hull shapes better.
Nice try
Perhaps! I'm not very refined - I'm a bit rough around the edges and I make no money at all on TH-cam, so ya gets what ya gets!
Unnecessary
Too annoying…. What a waste of time
listen 4 minutes, still not to the point, have to stop and don't want waste more time.
I didn't say 4 minutes - the video is 16 minutes long! That's "minutes" not "hours". :) You wouldn't be wasting time either. All the information is relevant!
The intro was pretty cringey and my index finger was twitching to hit click on the next video... but I gave it a chance, and I must say there WAS some good info. I gave it a like.
Way to drawn out. Get to the point bud...
so annoying that he takes so long to get going here
Gave up after 4 minutes of guff
