Description

About the 17.5ft Atkinson Traveler The Atkinson Traveler is modeled after the famous guide canoes, used initially by professional guides with their “sports,” but soon adopted by serious sportsmen and wilderness travelers alike. When co-authoring the book,“The wood and Canvas Canoe” we wanted to offer lines plans in the book for the building enthusiast could build themselves but be a boat that would meet most peoples needs. I designed the Traveler for my own needs and hoped that others would like it as much I did. It has become a very successful and popular canoe design and has met just about all of mine and many other wilderness paddlers needs. The Traveler boasts a generous carrying capacity, a handsome yet relatively low profile, a fine entry for speed yet ample buoyancy in the quarters and amidships. The modest rocker allows quick maneuvering in rapids, while the overall length makes straight tracking on the lakes possible even without the addition of a keel. For the serious traveler or for those who want extra floatation, the Traveler also comes in an extra deep model, with a depth of 14 or 15 inches. The overall appearance and shape of the canoe are not altered.
