This low maintenance trim features aircraft grade black anodized aluminum gunwales with ABS end decks. We also add nylon laced ash seats, ash thwart, carrying handles, and a balanced carrying yoke. Stainless steel eye bolts are found at each end for tie downs. This lightweight trim stands up to rugged use with little upkeep. Vinyl gunwales are standard on our Royalex hulls and are also available on our laminated canoes.
Nothing matches the beauty of wood.
By combining hulls made from strong, modern materials with finely crafted wood trim we create canoes that are both functional and attractive. We use only straight grained white ash gunwales fastened with stainless steel screws. The seats are ash framed and laced with nylon for comfort and water-resistance. Ash thwarts, custom cut decks and carrying handles complete the look. The hand rubbed oil finish gives the trim a rich satin patina.
