This is a 16 foot Canadien design canoe rigged with a set of pontoons for fast stable sailing. The wide crossboard allows the canoeist the option of sitting outboard with feet in the hull to take advantage of the strongest winds. For info, contact Ralph Frese at the Chicagoland Canoe Base

Beautiful! I'm curious to learn about your outrigger build or purchase because of the stability without the apparent drag. Awesome! I was looking because a large friend needs stabilizers for his 15' canoe with elec motor & heavy battery and found your vid. that works for me too. I have a 16.5' Grumman sq. back with a sail kit and appreciate how smoothly your set up glides requiring minimal hiking. The hiking was OK when I was younger, physically. Your post allows more play with an old friend.

Ralph Friese's Candienne design is one of the finest canoe designs ever. I have a 17' 2" model made by Old Town. Great canoe!
