The lines for this canoe were taken from an original "Huron" built in cedar/canvas by the Peterborough Canoe Company. It was the "second grade" model in a series of Cruiser canoes that measured from 16' x 33'" to 18' x 37".

From the Peterborough Canoe Co. Catalogue: "They have good carrying capacity while retaining a light draft, and are an easy paddling craft that can be handled well in rough or swift waters. The gunwhale line is straighter in these models and is lowered at bow and stem, thus offering less wind resistance." The rounded bottom may reduce carrying capacity, but the paddler may expect a quick and responsive craft.

Two types of optional keels were offered; the show keel (1/2" thick x 1-3/4" wide) for added protection, or a lake keel (7/8"thick x 3/4"wide tapered to 3/8") for a small increase in directional stability.

The canoe is easy to plank, and the woodstrip/epoxy version should weigh 45 to 55 lbs.
