Swift Canoes Keewaydin 15 Solo

Lightweight Solo Canadian Canoe for Multi Day Expeditions

The Swift Canoes Keewaydin 15 Solo is an ultra lightweight tripping canoe. Designed to be high-volume expedition canoe dedicated to solo use, the Keewaydin 15 Solo is the largest solo canoe Swift make for general purpose paddling (the longer Cruisers are performance focused). With a shallow arching hull and reasonable width the Keewaydin 15 Solo is a stable canoe for kneeling or sitting in, those who wish to sit more frequently may benefit from the Pack Seat option, however with an enhanced tumblehome this canoe can be easily heeled over (or leaned) and the mid-range waterline will make it ultra responsive. Unlike other canoes, the Keewaydin 15 maintains its waterline length well and makes for an efficient boat, tracking well and with minimal rocker it is easy to paddle even in windier conditions, perfect for longer multi-day trips, expeditions or those looking to have an easy to paddle solo boat which can cover good distance efficiently.

As with all Swift Canoes there is a great number of customisations which can be made, from laminates to colours to optional extras. We would highly recommend having a look at the Swift Website, where you can find a custom boat builder tool, and plenty of fantastic videos which can help to explain these options and features.
