The SUNRISE is built as a double-paddle decked canoe. The large cockpit has plenty of room for two, as well as the picnic basket.
This is the type of boat that I prefer for camping. With my heavy gear forward, and myself in the stern seating position, an all-day paddle is a pleasure. The SUNRISE shows less to the wind than does a more traditional Indian type canoe, therefore it is less prone to being blown off course. The ample deck helps keep you and your gear dry, and the seating position [on the bottom] keeps the boat more stable. The relatively light weight of the SUNRISE not only helps out when paddling, but is even more appreciated when, after a long day on the water, it's time to load up the truck and head for the barn.
The prototype SUNRISE weighs just 45 lbs.. This is a real, finished weight including full epoxy encapsulation and a glass-smooth finish inside and out.
