Plans canoes - Sport 325, €89
images | information | lines | particulars | history
Sport 325 is a shorter version of Sport 395, intended for a single person with gear.
It offers the same stability as Sport 395 - huge initial stability for moving around when you land a fish, for the fly fisherman to stand up comfortably and with no concern about capsizing or the photographer to use tele lenses. Comfortable seats, plenty of legroom and space for gear are other important features of the canoe.
Sport handles well. Being a tool for other activities, it is important that it can easily maneuver over shallows, follow a meandering small creek or adjust position for a photo opportunity. With flared bow, it is at home both on moderate whitewater and choppy lakes. Light weight and a comfortable carrying yoke are also significant factors since some sport activities demand portage to remote ponds, lakes and streams.
The trade-off is that a sport canoe will never be as fast and efficient as canoes designed for cruising, nor will it track as well. On the other hand it is compact, dry, agile, extremely user-friendly and will be used primarily on small bodies of water where high speed is of no particular value.
