EXPRESS SERIES

Borealis Express KX


Inspired by the 21'10" Mariah, a canoe designed for Gary and Joanie McGuffin's summer long transit of Lake Superior blazing the Heritage Coast Trail, the Borealis retains much of the capability of its' inspiration while translated into a more manageable size. The Borealis is fast, one of those canoes that accelerates effortlessly with each stroke and once up to speed seems to hang there of its' own will. A canoe designed for Superior has to be dry and the Borealis is, owing to unique spray "wings" molded into the bow above the water line that directs water away from the hull. The tumblehome is confined to high up on the hull for the same purpose. The Borealis is loaded with subtle design features that become evident the more you paddle it such as asymmetric design, blended shallow vee/arch hull. The heritage of the Borealis is already well established.

Malecite Express KX


A Mad River Classic and a truly legendary design, the Malecite can be a lot of boat to a lot of people. It's a fast lean touring boat, a quick stimulating day tourer, a high volume solo boat that is rewarding with or without a load. The Malecite is a bit narrower than an Explorer; the vee hull is a bit deeper, the sides a bit lower. The result, a quick, nimble canoe that responds to a skilled touch and one that makes beginners into adept paddlers in a hurry. Words are insufficient, the only way to judge a Malecite is to get it in the water.

Express 16 RX


The Express 16 takes the versatile hull of the Explorer and tweaks it for enhanced open water performance. The Express is faster than its' inspiration and is built with a lighter weight hull to further maximize speed. It retains the shallow vee hull in a narrower asymetric hull. It's basically a lean Explorer. It is a great lake country, big river boat that accelerates quickly and doesn't require a lot of energy to hold cruising speed. Perhaps what is most impressive is it is not a "tender" or tippy canoe and can still haul more gear than is good for you.
