  • OUTFITTING a WHITEWATER CANOE Part I

    OUTFITTING a WHITEWATER CANOE Part I

    OUTFITTING A WHITEWATER CANOE Part I By RiverKen I have made nearly every mistake possible in outfitting the OC-1 whitewater canoe,1 and thus can claim to be something of an expert on the subject. There are many websites that offer advice on how to do it, and I have shamelessly appropriated many of the ideas they have presented. I’ll try to give them credit where it is due.2 In addition, I have often posted questions on New England Riverrunners (a Yahoo group), Northeast Paddlers Message Board and C-Boats, and have received answers of varying utility. These message boards often contain useful information on outfitting, as well as many other subjects. I’ve also had many conversations with other open boaters, and with outfitters; all have educated me at least to some degree. Here, I am trying to write a compendium of what I have learned. This paper assumes that anyone who wants to outfit an OC-1 must have spent some time in one and knows the basic nomenclature that relates to canoes and outfitting, such as painter, hull, bow, and stern. On the other hand, if you really know what you’re doing, there won’t be much here you don’t already know. In that case, you can read this for its entertainment and undeniable literary value. This paper serves best as a compendium of ideas and resources, rather than a manual. The fun part of home outfitting is that you can experiment, think of new ways to do things, make mistakes, and ultimately get your boat outfitted exactly as you want it (or have to live with the mess you made).

    Mad River Canoe 2008 Product Catalog

    Mad River Canoe 2008 Product Catalog History of the Bunny Native American Micmac Indian legend tells of the rabbit, pipe in hand, sitting secure and confident within the ferns, as his mortal enemy the lynx prowls nearby. The rabbit is confident of his own ability. He knows he has the strength, agility, and intelligence to deal with whatever challenges await. He represents the assurance that your Mad River Canoe is the finest craft of its kind, a canoe in which you can paddle across the pond or into the wilderness with absolute peace of mind. Company History Mad River Canoe rose from admittedly humble beginnings to become a leader in the world of canoes. It all began back in 1971 when Jim Versatile Canoes Henry, out of frustration in not being to find a canoe to meet his needs, designed and built the first Malecite. Jim took his canoe to the Synergy, Angler 14 4 Whitewater National Championships and came home not only with the Downriver National Championship but also a demand for his new Explorer 5 canoe. He set up shop in a shed in the backyard of his hillside home in Waitsfield, Vermont overlooking the Mad River and Mad River Legend 6 Canoe was born. Jim and Kay Henry would incorporate Mad River Canoe in 1973 and establish a manufacturing facility for what became Freedom 7 a growing line of canoes made from then revolutionary materials such as Royalex® and Kevlar®. Mad River was among the first companies to mold their own Royalex® canoes and was the first to introduce Kevlar® to the canoe world.

At the end of this scene in a different production, all of the remaining performers slowly stand up and turn around until everyone is facing the audience. In a 2006 Copenhagen production, this scene ends with the central character living and holding up her newborn baby. Green lasers are used to represent a location in this scene where three characters recover a stolen object in a 1992 staging by Harry (*) Kupfer. A controversial Frank Castorf production sets this scene ​ before the New York Stock Exchange. One character’s only line during this scene is to demand that an object be given back, after which he is dragged underwater and drowned. During this scene, the banks of the Rhine overflow and Valhalla and all the gods within it are destroyed. For ten points, name this final scene of the Ring Cycle in which a Valkyrie rides her horse into her husband Siegfried’s funeral pyre.
