H2O - Kruger 16 - Brute Force

The Kruger 16 model hits a sweet spot between the Prospector and the Pal models. The Kruger is a tribute to an original Chestnut Canoe Company model. The Kruger would be ideal for paddlers who want a traditional canoe that’s fast, easy to paddle, can carry a couple of weeks’ worth of gear for wilderness trips and can handle rough water with ease. It is better suited to more advanced paddlers as the rounder bottom that makes for ease of turning and less effort to paddle means it might feel tippy to less experienced paddlers. The design of this canoe means it gets more stable the deeper it gets in the water and it shines when adding a load or paddling in rapids or waves kicked up by the wind. While the Kruger would be a good choice for doing an extended wilderness trip, it is also a joy to paddle solo and lends itself well to any paddler who enjoys doing some style paddling.
