Our 53-pound 18-foot Jensen is our “Top Shelf”, top of the line, “Prima Donna” canoe.
It’s light, and, very fast: it’s length makes it “glide” like a dream: it covers many many yards more with each paddle stroke than our (though much “tougher”) 17-foot Royalex white-water boats. We “baby” it: take it out mostly on quiet flat water outings: calm lakes—Mohansic Lake and Crom Pond recenty—Hudson River marshes.
