| In this category there are three suitable
styles of craft
(Kayak, Canoe and Sit-on) and we have identified three levels
depending on your skills, a basic level, a medium level and the top end. This is
dependant on how seriously you want to enjoy canoeing, as is explanatory from
the examples below. Generally a top end boat will have better
speed, tracking and specification, equipping the craft to
undertake longer journeys more successfully. Below is not a definitive list, but highlights craft with the
design characteristics typical for the suggested usage. |

Inland Touring KAYAKS for Rivers, lakes, Canals
and Estuaries. Anywhere where there is sheltered water.

Adventure Ranger

journeys and up to advanced sea kayaking, where greater speed
and tracking are required...
