Miramichi Kayak |
| |
For years, professional canoe guides and outfitters have relied on plastic or fiberglass for their fleets of boats. Each of them has its own merit. One is inexpensive, the other light. But none of them has the beautiful look.
At Grande Canoes, we are determined to make something stunning beautiful and at the same time strong, durable and light weight.
How can we achieve all of these? All of out canoes/kayaks are assembled from strips of top graded Canadian cedar (a very rare soft yet very strong timber) and then encapsulated in fiberglass with epoxy resin. |

Grande Canoes
are completely handcrafted and it typically takes about 200-500
hours to build one. We still use the traditional method of constructions
while integrating the highest quality of materials currently
available. Strips of cedars are joined together by hand and
then encapsulated in fiberglass bonded in place with epoxy resin
then coated with marine vanish. This combination of fiberglass
and epoxy is very strong and completely transparent so that
the beauty of the wood will be protected for generations.. |
