[edit] Solo Whitewater Canoes
Esquif Vertige - This is Jeannes Vertige rigged in April 2008. The goal with the outfitting was the create a boat that Jeanne could use as a whitewater tripper, while still being playful empty. The Esquif Vertige was the perfect boat to match her size and skills. Weight was a major consideration in the outfitting, the boat had to stay light enough she could easily control it. The boat was rigged using a Bob Foote Pedestal, Bell Knee Straps, Daisy Chains and Web Rings, and Mike Yee Double Knee Cups. Quick release lacing and safety straps finished out the package. The final outfitted weight was 48lbs.
[edit] Solo River Tripping Canoes
We-no-nah Rendezvous - This is Erics Rendezvous rigged in April 2008. The goal with the outfitting was to meet Erics requirements for a downriver tripper. The boat has a seat pad and knee pads, footbrace, and releasable bag cages with safety straps. Typical of Erics boats, it's tricked out.
