Important Features for Expeditions Reinforcements. Expedition craft must stand up to hard wear and tear, and we reinforce the abrasion areas. There are five heavy “keel strips” under the bottom and thinner reinforcement strips to cover the gunwales. Further wear protection is provided by a closed cell foam pad covering the bottom between skin and frame to keep the skin from direct contact with the frame (this is incredibly effective). Cross ribs are connected to the gunwales by lockable clips to make a solid connection even when you grab the gunwale to lift the canoe. PakCanoe sides are protected by inflatable tubes on the inside pushing the fabric away from the aluminum frame and forming a built-in fender. Inflatable tubes may be inflated manually or with small supplied air pump. D-rings are factory installed at both ends, half way up the stem, providing a low attachment point for ropes. Important for Family Use Inflatable tubes in the sides place flotation where it needs to be for improved stability and safety. The PakCanoe is easier to assemble because the inflatable tubes provide skin tension after the canoe has been assembled. Aluminum parts are anodized to provide superior corrosion resistance even when a PakCanoe is used in salt water – and you will not get black hands by handling Seaworthy Craft Because of their skin-on-frame construction, PakCanoes flex and work with the waves in a way that hardshell can't. The bow will rise and climb over waves instead of crashing into them and taking on water. This lets PakCanoes run much drier than traditional canoes in storms and .

The above pictures show the room available for cargo placement such as food barrels. In a folding canoe, the keel shape is influenced by the load distribution. The flexible hull lets you tune the handling characteristics to your specific use. In rapids where you want a rockered, highly maneuverable canoe, just concentrate the load (including paddlers) near the center of the canoe and leave the ends light. This gives more rocker (leaving the bow lightly loaded also improves your ability to rise up over waves). On flatwater a straight keel line helps both tracking and speed. Distribute the load more evenly along the length of the canoe. You will be amazed how well the canoe tracks. On a typical river with a mixture of flatwater and rapids you can tune your canoe by loading the gear in the midsection. Then sit close to the ends on flatwater for a straight keel line and improved tracking. Kneel next to the thwarts for more rocker and improved control in whitewater.
