Old Town Discovery 169
At close to seventeen feet in length, the 169 is the longest in the Old Town Discovery Series of canoes. Primarily designed to cover distance and transport heavier loads with stability and predictable performance. The Discovery 169 performs efficiently even when it is heavily loaded with gear and with multiple passengers. The three-layer polyethylene construction is well manufactured to be tough and durable, providing many years of maintenance free canoeing.
Popular with outdoor centres worldwide thanks to its stable, proven hull shape and build quality. The Disco 169 is also popular with paddlers looking to do multiday overnight canoe camping trips whether in the Highlands of Scotland or the sunnier rivers of Southern France. Paddled tandem, with lots of kit the 169 is many open-boaters canoe of choice. For solo paddling, or carrying less gear, the Discovery 158 has the same great build quality and hull shape, but in a smaller package.
As a canoe that tracks well, can carry an enormous load, and stable, although not the lightest or most manoeuvrable- the Discovery 169 is a great choice for the paddlers who aspire to cover longer distances, need plenty of stability or may need additional room and load capacity. The Old Town Discovery Outfitter is also available for those wanting even more durability, as it can be supplied with 2/3 hard-wearing plastic seat options.
