I need an Ocean Canoe....?

Question

My house is on the banks of a river and i want a canoe...my river is about 6-8 metres wide and is like a mill pond (it's calm). I don't want the traditional canoe as i don't like being inclosed in them. So i thought about the open ocean kayask because they are stable. Am i doing the right thing ??

Answer 1

Okay, from your terminology, it sounds like you're somewhere in the EU?  

So, you don't want an enclosed kayak like this:

All but the last boat can be found via www.paddling.net - check their classifieds and the dealer directory for a store near you.

If you're after an ocean canoe - an outrigger boat like the last one, you can check with these guys: http://www.allwave.it/modelli.html

Good luck!

Answer 2

If I were you, I don’t need to bordering myself due to the fact of expensive that will expel on canoe and note that not all the relative or visitors can get canoe for instance if the direction/ time of your journey with wife and that of children are not the same. Then how many canoes are you going to buy?

My preferred idea is to contact Japanese construction industry to construct bridge, think of it wisely.

I have a sit-on-top kayak and I love it. Its perfect for calm waters and rough waves. Its a lot of fun. I think fishing will be possible...but I dont fish.
