At 14 pounds, this is a canoe for almost all reasons (excepting big whitewater). Carrying it over long distances isn’t an issue and neither is loading or off-loading from your vehicle. A junket to backwater ponds or lakes is a legitimate option. Ask about our hands-free portage system; walk with your hands in your pockets if you like.
With depths options between 10” and 13”, the Wee Lassie offers generous capacity for paddler, gear, dogs and more. Offering different depths is more than worth our effort in order to precisely match the canoe to your personal size and load requirements (there’s no charge for this custom process).
Specifications Length: 10’6” Waterline Width: 26” Weight: 14 lbs Capacity: 230-330 depending on depth Depth: 9” - 13” Weight, Price Kevlar/Carbon Hybrid - 14 lbs - $1,645 Innegra,Basalt,Kevlar,Carbon Hybrid - 14 lbs - $1,745 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 pretty, 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. Our first thought was to rework the designs and build “production” quality molds. But then, we contemplated the authentic and legendary value of such treasures and decided to build from the existing molds exactly as they came from Bart’s shop. As a result, if you look closely, you’ll see a few tiny imperfections here and there on your canoe. They are purely cosmetic and we feel they add to the romance and narrative -- the continuing saga of Bart Hauthaway, John Henry Rushton and the tale of the Woods Canoe and the St Regis. There is nothing like paddling history!

The hull is a shallow V that exhibits excellent initial and final stability. It paddles and glides with little effort; quiet, precise in tracking, maneuverable, seaworthy and capable of carrying significant loads. The Impulse 13’ is a boat that you’ll want to paddle for the shear pleasure of skimming across the water. Great stability for fly fishing too!
Customize your boat with special seating, allowances for dogs, special deck engravings, gunnel species including: ash, cherry, mahogany, or cedar. This model works well with hung web seating for those who are experienced, as well as kneeling thwart... and can be as contemporary or old school as you wish. You can also have the kayak type seat for a backup to the kneeling thwart or the hung seat... it's just a matter of simple hardware. Just ask!
