Old Town Discovery 158
The Old Town Discovery 158 is a long term favorite amongst customers and staff alike. It is definitely a favorite when it comes to centres and family use. Whether you want a general purpose canoe for touring and family fun, or a tough durable canoe for white water, the Discovery 158 will perform. It is a true all-rounder!
The hull shape means the 158 is responsive when paddled solo or tandem and the long keel line helps with tracking, making it easy to paddle over longer distances. Head out on a family day trip, or load up for a multi-day expedition. Explore the lochs and rivers of Scotland, venture out onto the water in the Lake District, head off for a camping adventure in the Norfolk Broads or paddle the beautiful coastal estuaries in Cornwall. The Discovery 158 will do it all and take you on your next canoeing adventure!
The Discovery is constructed from triple-layer polyethylene. An inner layer of close cell foam sandwiched between two layers of high-density polyethylene. This construction provides a lighter, stiffer and stronger build than that of a single layered canoe. Deisgned to take on the abuse on many seasons of paddling adventures and the tough construction is what makes this canoe so popular with outdoor activity centres and hire operators too.
Outfitted with two wood/web seats and an ash thwart and carry yoke. The hull is finished with durable vinyl gunwhales and end deck plates with built in carry handles.
Hit the water on your next paddling trip with a true classic of the canoe world, in the shape of a Discovery 158 from Old Town.
Also available in robust 'Outfitter' specification with 2 x Plastic PE seats for commercial operators, hire fleets, activity centres and schools - Click here for more info: Old Town Discovery 158 Outfitter.
