Wee Lassie

Quiet, serene, solo paddling in those hard to get to places is what the Wee Lassie excels at. This design is a modified version of an old Henry Rushton design, which is designed to have a low seat and paddled with a double bladed paddle. It also can be paddled in the kneeling position as a free style canoe. The short length and narrow slight V-bottom hull makes this an ideal canoe for shallow, twisty streams and rivers. Flared sides give it good final stability and makes it very seaworthy on larger bodies of water which could have wind and waves. With our light lay-ups, this canoe is probably the lightest canoe made and makes it a joy to portage and paddle. If you enjoy exploring places where most canoes cannot go, try the Wee Lassie. Also can be used as a free style canoe.

"We've been out twice in pretty windy conditions in our Wee Lassie’s and I LOVE IT!  Can't wait for a nice calm day.....  Also, everyone that has seen the boats are just BLOWN AWAY by them... HYPERLIGHT!!!"

"I just got home from the Freestyle symposium in the ADKs. My kneeling Wee Lassie was a big hit and the most tried boat there. Several instructors tried it and there were comments on the quality of workmanship from several including Charlie Wilson. At least one person will be contacting you about purchasing one."
