The Manitouana
The hull shape is
a Swede form meaning that the ends are not mirror images. The
paddler sits aft of center. This allows of a very long
fine bow shape, which at speed produces minimal wave and lift.
The volume of the stern, has sufficient buoyancy to resist the
lift of the bow, therefore the keel remains flat, keeping the
complete waterline in the water for maximum hull speed.
A minimum
rocker to the keel, along with both ends of the hull having
vertical side surfaces, provide tracking stability to convert
all the paddles’ thrust into forward motion.
For
cruising this makes for and efficient speed for effort.
With the hull on edge it carves a turn with ease, and with the
rudder down turning is a snap.

When launching into the next wave or surfing, the long deck
promotes a dryer ride and pearling resistance. Both ends are
segregated from the cockpit by watertight bulkheads. The Swede
form hull also provides excellent stability, with only the paddler, and it even performs better when loaded heavy with
gear. The hatches are flush to reduce wind resistance and
spray. They are held in place by two 1/4 turn cam latches that
pull down and hold the seal tight against the second seal.
The seat is of molded fiberglass designed to eliminate pressure
points complete with an adjustable backrest that curves around
your body, to provide indexing stability for the paddler when
the boat is on edge. Our butterfly peddle system is a unique
design first prototyped in 1969. It provides for firm heel
placing while allowing the ball of your foot to pivot the
peddle.
A center strap attached to the seat takes all the forward force
of your legs. Therefore the rudder cables only require a light
force to steer. This system achieves the exceptional ability of
snug fitting different sized paddlers. Knee indexing is
maintained with the rudder up or down and during turns.
