Wenonah Prism Canoe - Kevlar Ultralight

Widely regarded as a testament to precision and innovation, the Wenonah Prism, as described by Canoe and Kayak Magazine, stands as an exceptional embodiment of unparalleled performance in the world of composite solo canoes. This remarkable vessel has earned its distinction through its remarkable fusion of attributes that set it apart.

At the heart of the Prism's acclaim lies its remarkable penchant for glide and speed, characteristics that have left enthusiasts in awe. This sleek watercraft is celebrated for its unwavering ability to maintain a straight and true course, effectively harnessing the power of every stroke, and delivering a paddling experience like no other. Yet, in a testament to its versatility, the Wenonah Prism displays notable agility, responding swiftly to navigational changes and demonstrating a remarkable ability to return to a stable position, surpassing the capabilities of other Swift Canoes.

It has earned its place as the most beloved composite solo canoe among enthusiasts. This watercraft shines equally on serene lakes, flowing rivers, and challenging low-grade whitewater, making it an indispensable companion for adventurers.

What truly sets the Prism apart is its load capacity. Its voluminous design accommodates medium-length journeys with ease, promising ample space for gear and equipment.

The construction of the Prism, particularly in its Ultra-light Kevlar variant, epitomizes engineering excellence. Weighing in at a mere 30 pounds (13.6 kilograms), it stands as a testament to the pursuit of the lightest and most durable craft. The Ultra-light hulls, constructed with Kevlar, are celebrated for their stiffness and extraordinary lightness, ideal for those who crave speed and seek to cover vast distances.

The technology behind the Ultra-light construction encompasses a structural foam core and strategically placed ribs that are laminated into the hull and sides, ensuring both rigidity and strength. Additional fabric layers are meticulously added to reinforce specific targeted areas, elevating the Prism's durability to unparalleled heights. Notably, aluminium plates are strategically integrated into the hull, serving as the anchor for seats, foot braces, and all hardware, all of which are meticulously riveted into these plates. This not only guarantees a secure connection but also eliminates unsightly rivet heads on the exterior, resulting in a sleek and streamlined finish.

To put it simply, the Wenonah Prism canoe is a true masterpiece in terms of its design and construction, perfectly balancing speed, stability, capacity, and finesse. Its outstanding features, especially in the Ultra-light Kevlar setup, make it stand out from the rest.
