Pakboats PakCanoe 150 Folding Boat

The PakCanoe 150 offers space for two people and has enough payload capacity for a week’s camping equipment. The 150 is ideal for smaller family trips and fishing adventures, for example. In addition, the boat can easily cope with white water up to level III. Depending on the trim, the boat is easy to manoeuvre both in waves and in calm waters. The tilt-resistant 150 Canadian has a length of 4.55 m, width of 89 cm and side board height of 34 cm.

The PakCanoes from Pakboats stand for expedition folding canoes in a class of their own and are convincing all along the line. The materials used have been developed to perfection and the convincing hardware technology makes these Canadians the first choice of the canoeist. Also with regard to the handling characteristics of the PakCanoes, something unique has been achieved: the synthesis of whitewater capability and directional stability – and all this in just one packsack (90cm x 43cm x 33cm)!

A not too stiff boom allows the canoeist to adjust the trim of his PakCanoes according to the water requirements by weight distribution. For example, if the canoeist is to be easily manoeuvrable, the weight is placed more centrally. The bow and stern therefore lead a little less – in favour of manoeuvrability. However, if a high level of directional stability is required, the weight is placed in the bow and stern. Result: The PakCanoe gets a good straight line tracking. By the way: The scaffold can be installed quickly and of course without tools due to colored markings! The skin tension is additionally created by laterally integrated air hoses, which – as a tremendously important side effect – also protect the outer skin from damage like a “buffer”. Because what gives way does not rub off!

All in all, further details offer a lot of advantages that you will not find in other folding canoes. For example, the floor mat is already pre-fixed in the skin in the bow and stern, so it does not have to be aligned during assembly and cannot slip in moving water. This saves a lot of work, time and trouble. The floor mat protects against cold and provides additional buoyancy in extreme situations due to integrated air pockets. Speaking of extreme situations: if your PakCanoe does hit full water, it will lie stable on its keel thanks to the higher air tubes. If the buoyancy would only be in the low lying floor mat, the unfavourable leverage would result in an unstable position on the keel.
