Our friend Brad ordered this Cruiser 16.8 to run the Yukon River Quest this summer. It's a 715 km race that tests the physical limits of every paddler, their boat, and their equipment. We rigged this canoe specifically to Brad's specs and added custom features to help with performance and comfort during a non-stop 715 km trek. Everything from the seat pan, the rudder, the drain, and the assist bar was developed with the help of Jeremy Vore from Red Leaf Designs, who also outfitted this canoe with a custom cover made exactly to Brad's specs.
