Hello, I just came back from a canoe trip in the gorge de l’Ardèche in France. It is a beginner river, I had a bad plastic boat model name INCA which put us in a delicate situation when the water started to fill it up while passing rapids, up to the points the boat got stock under water against the big block. We went in the water and I got trap underwater between the boat and the rock. While my wife was holding on the rock and my dog floating away. When I look at the video I can see lots of water getting in the canoes 🛶 why are the not filling up? Is there a self water evacuation system in those canoe? Beside this little bit scary event we really liked it and we wants to get our own boat. So I am curious about which one to choose?
@canoeing6 ай бұрын
Hello! Thank you for your comment! The Ardèche Valley is a very beautiful place. It seems that you had a slightly dangerous experience on this canoe trip. I recommend that you attach floatation bags to the bow and stern depending on the situation. My canoe does not have an automatic drainage device. When water gets in, I use a bailer to scoop out the water. The canoes I recommend are made by Royalex. The reason is that they are light and strong. Also, the shape and size of the canoe will change depending on where you paddle. We also consider the design of the canoe to be an important factor in choosing it.

Hi! I'm amazed by the level of your skill and dedication in bringing a full sized tripping open canoe to white water. I hope it won't sound flattering but I do find some similarities between your paddling and the paddling skills shown in Bill Mason's films. Your boat is the OT Camper 16 in Royalex, right? If I'm not mistaken, it's based on the old OT Chipewyan line. If so, mine is the little brother of yours, the OT Pack. Have you made any substantial changes to the hull? Such as pulling it in by shortening the thwarts, etc.? Why have you chosen this boat and not any other? Such as the OT Appalachian or Nova Craft Supernova, etc., that are more of running water designs? Also, you have some really beautiful whitewater terrains in Japan, it seems. Are the conditions often like that? Or do you have to wait for water? And as someone who's not really very versed in modern technology, that's a drone flying nearby that's filming you? Thank you for your videos and I'm sending my best wishes from Prague, Czechia. Robert

Roberte, děkuji za komentář a dotaz. Kánoe, kterou používám, je Camper 16. Také specifikace trupu byly změněny nahrazením záďového plechu středovým sedadlem a jeho instalací mírně dopředu. Důvod, proč jsem si vybral karavany, je ten, že karavany Old Town Canoe jsou v Japonsku nejoblíbenější. Dalším důvodem je, že do Japonska se dováží jen velmi málo výrobců kánoí. V Japonsku je mnoho krásných řek, kde si můžete užít kanoistiku. Situace se jistě mění v závislosti na množství vody z deště. Používám překladatelský software, takže se omlouvám, pokud jsou některé věty špatně srozumitelné.

I regret selling my Camper great canoe. I do have a tripper does anyone know how they handle whitewater solo? Great vid btw.
@canoeing7 ай бұрын
Thank you for your comment! The Tripper is a good canoe, but I think it's too big for solo paddling. For solo paddling, a 16ft canoe like the Camper or Charles River is an easy-to-handle size.
