"The Chicot is the most seaworthy canoe I have ever paddled. It's the finest wood and canvas canoe I have ever paddled. You guys just aced the design." Bill from Ontario.
The Chicot (pronounced shee-koh) is an excellent and versatile canoe for pleasure paddling, family use, and wilderness travel. It has been renowned by it's many owners for its stability, maneuverability, and seaworthiness.
The hull design, a shallow arched hull with fine entry lines and full quarters, allows the Chicot to move through the water gracefully even when heavily loaded. Canoe trippers will find the Chicot more than capable of holding a generous amount of gear and will be pleased at how it tracks when lining and poling through swift current.
Our years spent guiding canoe trips up north inspired the Chicot's design. It is reminiscent of the early woodsman canoes of Canada and Maine and has that old time fishing, hunting, and guiding feel to it. The old guides of this era desired a canoe that could hold weight while maintaining seaworthiness, was stable enough for their inexperienced sports, and was maneuverable enough under the power of one paddle (the guides).
Whether you will use your Chicot on long canoe trips or for every day use with the family, you will find it a pleasurable and comfortable canoe to paddle.
