 You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
We have an old Venture Ranger 14 canoe that I bought second hand a couple of years ago. We only use it for gentle paddles up the Thames (I live in Oxford) but it's really great, and we prefer it to the faff of setting up our Decathlon inflatable, although that is also decent.
However, it is really heavy and unwieldy, and quite a struggle both to get on and off the roof of the car and manoeuvre around locks, so we'd like something lighter. Ideally a similar two-person open canoe, but perhaps we could stick with the one we have for longer days out, and just get something much smaller - perhaps only for one person - instead.
I've looked on Song of the Paddle, and at various online shops, only to be confronted by a bewildering array of choice! We don't need anything fancy - no plans to do anything other than potter up the river - we just want something lighter, and not too expensive.
Any advice gratefully received! I know I could post on SotP, but thought I'd probably get bogged down in detail, and that the STW collective would be a better place to start 🙂
