Built in the traditional style of the famous Maine Grand Lake Stream canoes only larger, the Voyager was designed by Maine Guide Mick Fahey to carry heavy loads on large and windy lakes. More than just a large canoe with a square transom, the stern rises and tapers so the transom does not create a lot of drag, especially at low power or when using a paddle or pole.
The standard Voyager is built for rugged use with heavy 3/8" ribs, 3/16" planking, half ribs, heavy inside keelson and outside keel. Spray rails help knock down heavy waves and keep the boat dry. Spruce rails, ash transom, deck, thwarts and stern seat are used on the basic model.
