A canoe spray deck that fits the dimensions of your boat with the functions you require. This has been a project undertaken by Totem Outfitters and Ganzogear Manufacturing over the past five years. At North Water we were impressed at their system of building custom high quality decks that are guaranteed to fit and easy to install.
If you are looking for a bombproof deck that easily adjusts for a perfect fit regardless of load height and temperature expansion and contraction, good access to gear and the flexibility to use a full or partial deck, then read on.
Why Do I Need One?
SAFETY: With a Deck on a canoe you can cross large lakes and handle rough water. It takes just 5 minutes for a calm lake to turn to whitecaps but it takes 20 minutes to paddle across a 2-mile wide lake.
COMFORT: Keeps you and your gear dry and comfortable in bad weather.
EXPEDITIONS: On any lengthy trip you need to have the ability to press on in bad weather. They also make your gear more secure if you leave your boat while sightseeing or replenishing supplies in populated areas.
EXPEDITION PROVEN: World Record Longest Canoe Voyage from Western Canada to the Amazon, the "British Canoe Expedition" used a Clipper Tripper Canoe outfitted with our standard spray deck.
C2C - The fastest Paddle Across Canada New Brunswick to Vancouver in one Summer - Again they used a Clipper Tripper canoe with our Standard Spray Deck.
These decks can be made to fit a wide variety of canoes from a two-person expedition canoe to a solo boat. The deck allows easy access to gear during the day and quick unloading of the boat at the campsite.
