The Ranger is done and tested on a 5-day trip to the BWCAW in May. I was most impressed in the way she handled loaded in wind and on quiet waters. Although not as much room as in a longer canoe, she did very well and we cruised at 3.5mph. I am very satisfied by the stability and predictability of the design. The 16' Prospector may be my next boat.
The proud owner!
Thanks for all of the advice and discussion on this forum. It is the best!
