    Minnesota II KV UL BLK Details

    The most efficient, stable tandem tripping canoe ever.

    If you travel in Minnesota's BWCA, or Canada's Quetico Park, you'll see lots of these Jensen-designed canoes. You'll hear rave reviews, too, because the Minnesota II is widely acclaimed by the dedicated paddlers, professional guides, and park rangers of the lake country as the ideal canoe for long trips.

    Since we make it to use where week-long outings are typical, we gave this design high capacity and seaworthiness to hold two people with heavy gear and still cope well with lake waves.

    Best of all -- and the reason the Minnesota II so popular -- is that it has unmatched performance when loaded. It travels great distances, at high speeds, with less effort than any other tandem performance canoe. And, if built in our Ultra-light Kevlar or graphite, it will make you look forward to portages! We take the Minnesota II on our family trips since nothing else has its combined efficiency, capacity, and lightness.

    Canoe & Kayak Magazine noted, "Apart from superb final stability, the best feature is how it returns to course in waves."

    While originally designed for use in northern Minnesota, this hull is also ideal for trips on lakes and mild rivers wherever you find them, plus its superb performance and straight tracking make it ideal to paddle lightly loaded just for the thrill of traveling swiftly.

     Kevlar® Ultra-light:  42 lbs.  (18.9 kg)  w/ Standard Equipment

    We-no-nah Canoe Aurora FG


    Many times we hear similar needs. What is the best all-around canoe? Do you have a canoe that I can fit my dog and kids? Do you have a canoe that can carry a good load but is also fun for day trips. Well, turns out the We-no-nah made a canoe for all these reasons.

    The Aurora, puts the wide versatility and superb performance of our best-selling model, the Spirit II, into a more-compact package.

    While it's a foot shorter, the Aurora is as deep in the center as the Spirit II, and is also deep in the ends. It has greater total buoyancy than you might expect, and it carries nearly the load that the Spirit II will.

    Not meant for heavy expeditions, the Aurora does suit typical trips well. It's an easy-paddling hull that retains sufficient freeboard when loaded.

    Perhaps the Aurora's best feature is its good blend of initial and final stabilities. While steady enough for hunting or fishing, and to haul kids or a dog who may jump around, it's very seaworthy for a mid-sized canoe. Its carefully-contoured, shallow-arch hull is the reason.

    While the choice of 16' canoes is vast, others have a less-sensible bottom profile. Compared to typical flat-bottomed hulls, the Aurora's shallow-arch design has a bit less steadiness on center but has greater ultimate safety and better handling on waves. It also paddles easier and glides farther.

    Another common style, the V-bottom, has more wetted surface than a shallow-arch, and suffers rapid abrasion on the "V" area.

    If your situation dictates a 16' model, and varied types of paddling, no other design serves so well for so many uses.
