QR Code Link to This Post
Mid-eighties Cedarwood canoe built by Chestnut's foreman, Carl Jones. Built on original Chestnut Pal forms. Highest quality cedar wood materials from Canada. Built in New Brunswick, Canada. This model, the Pal, was legendary canoeist Bill Mason's favorite canoe. It can be seen performing flawlessly in all of his films along with his Prospector high volume canoe.
Dimensions = 16' x 36" x 12"
It’s a great choice for paddlers who want a canoe that does it all well. Nicely suited for flatwater trips or short outings for sightseeing or fishing, the Pal handles rough water well and feels comfortable in windy conditions. Indeed, it’s a pleasure to paddle either tandem or solo. Once you paddle one you’ll know why owners call it “My Pal”.
This is a rare find as this wooden model is no longer built.
