Wee Lassie 10' 6"

At 14 pounds, this is a canoe that many clamor for.  Carrying it over long distances isn’t an issue.  This canoe provides welcomed opportunities to explore backwater ponds or lakes off the beaten path.
With depths options between 10” and 13”, the Wee Lassie offers enough capacity for paddler and gear. 

The hull is pleasantly maneuverable on the tiniest of streams yet it tracks extremely well on open water -- the glide will amaze you!  John Henry Rushton designed the canoe to be paddled with a double blade (kayak style) which offers many advantages:  easier control, greater speed, less fatigue . . . but some prefer a traditional canoe blade. The shallow V hull is high in initial and final stability for a canoe of 27” beam.  The stems are keen and exhibit some hollow with pretty curves that transition into the waterline.
​The Wee Lassie combines the advantages of a kayak with the strong points of a canoe.  A blend of comfort, form and function designed to provide the ultimate paddling experience.

This shows the Kevlar/Carbon Hybrid laminate, it has slightly greenish tint. We have found that  the fish are intrigued by it!
The Innegra/Basalt/Kevlar/Carbon Hybrid laminate has a slightly grayish tint. 

• Laminates:  Kevlar,Carbon Hybrid Laminate is tough enough for most paddlers.
  Innegra, Basalt, Kevlar, Carbon is a bit tougher.
• Color:  See Color Chart page for selections.  We do not use gelcoat. While gelcoat does provide good color and some protection from scratching, we believe the added weight is not worth the slight increase in protection.  We pigment the resin which provides excellent UV protection and carries the color completely through the laminate.  Adding a color actually adds up to 3-4 lbs because of the extra layer.
• Gunnels: Nothing looks or feels as good as wood.  Native cherry or ash are available at no additional charge.  Gunnel scuppers are standard.
• Seating:  Standard kayak seat. 
• Flotation:  The Wee Lassie is produced without flotation.  All laminates will float if swamped but they will not support bodies or gear.  The canoe is produced without flotation to allow for triangular dry-storage flotation that many paddlers prefer.  Flotation is available (and recommended) as shown on the Options page.
• Footrests: Adjustable footrests are standard.
• Hull: The hull pops out of the mold at 13” deep.  It is trimmed to any depth you prefer (no charge) 10” is the depth originally designed by Rushton and is adequate for most paddlers.

The St. Regis was designed by Bart Hauthaway, who was inspired by the John Henry Rushton boats of similar size.
The St. Regis 12 is a comfortable and stable design that tracks nicely yet responds well to steering strokes.
Layup available are Carbon Fiber/Kevlar Hybrid, and also Innegra/Carbon/Kevlar H/D Hybrid for strength yet super light, and more forgiving on rock gardens.  
The original molds being used to fabricate this canoe are unquestionably museum pieces made by Bart many, many years ago.  However, they are not what would be called “production tools” by the standards of modern lamination.  The authenticity and legendary value of such treasures use the existing molds exactly as they came from Bart’s shop.  As a result, you may see a few tiny imperfections here and there on your canoe.  They are purely cosmetic and add to the romance and narrative -- the continuing saga of Bart Hauthaway, John Henry Rushton; the tale of the Woods Canoe and the St Regis.  There is nothing like paddling history!

Lean entry lines, pretty curves fore and aft, attractive shear, wood outfitting encompassing a wonderful capability for two to paddle together with effortless cruising.  Superb tracking makes the Sportduo 13 an excellent choice for a sunset paddle, or day-long cruising. This canoe works wonderful for paddlers under 6' tall each, due to it's length.
The Sportduo 13 is quite responsive while exhibiting stability that will inspire confidence for novice paddlers and comfort for those with experience.  Whether fishing, taking photos or stalking wildlife, the Sportduo tracks extremely well even at very slow speeds.  This translates into the ability to glide toward your objective (photo op, rising trout, etc.) without constant steering or paddle strokes that spook wildlife.
