Cruiser 17.8 Solo
Do you enjoy putting mile after mile behind your stern? Do you dream of a solo canoe that can swallow epic distances on an expedition while shrugging off rough water and confused seas? Would you like a solo hull that responds to an edge with the responsiveness and confidence of a top-shelf sea kayak? The Cruiser 17.8 is your boat.
A foot longer and two inches narrower than the Crusier 16.8, it carries the same volume in a faster, beautifully responsive hull shape. The Cruiser 17.8 is designed for the ultra-distance racer, daily fitness paddler, and epically-fast expedition tripper seeking a hull that combines speed with handling performance. We’ve put Olympians and ultra-distance winners in it and they’ve all come back to shore with ear-to-ear grins.
Ideal For; Larger Paddlers, Ultra Distance Canoe Racing, Fitness Paddling, Multi Day Tripping,
Standard Options: Carbon Kevlar Trim, Carbon Tech Package, Carbon Sliding Seat with Carbon Footbar

Cruiser 17.8 2025
Review after 200km/6 days … Canot idéal pour longue distance et vitesse . Stable on est en confiance dès le début même dans la vague . Dans la grosse vague (60 a 90 cm) a cause de la longueur il ne roule pas comme un canot ordinaire, avec un bon vent 3/4 arrière difficile de maintenir le cap. Je conseil pas a celui qui veut juste un seul canot , mais si vous en avez déjà plusieurs c’est un must a ajouter a votre collection ! Pas de flottaison , siège standard , pas de blingbling … 28 livres . 5 étoiles Swift !
