stem of a hiawatha
hiawatha line drawings

This traditional looking Bear Mountain design has a sheer-line and bow profile reminiscent of the early "Canadian" style canoe. Below the water line, the hull is a more up-to-date shape for paddling efficiency. The hull is a shallow arch with a moderately flat keel-line that flows into a shallow vee to become a fine deep vee at the bow for directional stability, speed and maneuverability. The vee is carried as far back as possible, acting as a keel, it contributes to directional stability without sacrificing maneuverability. The Hiawatha is a general purpose recreational canoe of light displacement, designed in the tradition of contemporary American cruisers, achieving its optimum waterline shape when paddled level, rather than heeled over. A good solo canoe, its also very fast and responsive with a double paddle.
