The Bladerunner OC1

(Photos at bottom of page)

This canoe was built for Australian race conditions ie: "Triangle" or start and finish at the same place. It has a longer water line length making it quicker into the chop and flat conditions.

It is also a changing volume canoe ie: increasing "Vee" to the gunwale above the water line - this is an advantage in following seas and also for the larger paddler - 140 kg. is not a problem!

Last season saw the release of another of Bladerunner's exciting innovations - the 'Targa' Bladerunner! Built for high performance in following seas and swell, this version of the popular Bladerunner OC1 features a higher volume nose, lowered seating, deeper footwells (venturi drainage included) for stability.
