If you want light and stable, the Herons a great choice. Use it for fishing or paddling small streams. No one ever wanted a heavier boat!The Heron is a compact, maneuverable tandem canoe that answers all requests. It's the smallest tandem canoe in our General Touring family--a 15-foot version of our best-selling Spirit II. Like the Spirit II, the Heron is stable and efficient to paddle. It's shorter length makes it highly maneuverable and perfect for small streams and quiet backwaters. Compact and lightweight, the Heron is ideal for lighter paddlers and smaller water.
