H2O Canoe Company Solo 16/6 Canoe Review

The H2O Solo 16/6 is a multi-purpose, solo canoe with a good blend of stability, efficiency and capacity to satisfy a wide range of skill levels from novice to advanced.

Being the larger boat in the solo series that includes the Solo 14/6, this canoe features a longer waterline, narrower width, finely flared ends and efficiently designed hull offer paddlers a straight tracking canoe with exceptional glide.

The Solo 16/6 couples a sleek asymmetrical profile with tumble-home sides produce a very distinctive looking, performance-oriented craft. A slightly rockered bow and stern enhance maneuverability and shed waves to provide a dry ride.

Fairly wide and deep, H2O's Solo 16/6 offers good load capacity for extended trips, while its semi-arched hull makes it comfortable and steady for day cruising, fishing, and sightseeing.

"The H2O Canoe Company Solo 16/6 is a versatile solo canoe with a glide so smooth it's almost effortless to paddle!"
