Description
The original Little Kate has been a very popular design for those wanting a lightweight, easily portaged single canoe - I was then asked to design a longer version and so the 13'6" Big Kate came along. And now, I have been asked to stretch the design further, to just under 17'.
The beam has been retained at 27" and, like the Big Kate the drawings show the same sit down seating position with swiveling backrest as the Little Kate, but positions for 2 fixed seats for a lightweight crew have also been shown and she could be fitted out with both configurations.
Long Kate is a lightweight canoe, still easily carried on the shoulder but with that additional room to carry more kit.
