14 ft Tandem Whitewater Playboat

This is the tandem playboat by which the others are judged – and they hate that. Soft chines and a full rocker make the Caption responsive and predictable in those not-so-friendly rapids. It surfs, carves and turns like a much shorter boat, not to mention it’s an excellent solo canoe for those who seek speed and stability.

The Caption had a fine balance of stability, speed and manoeuvrability with its soft chines and aggressive rocker. And best of all, a Caption paddled by good boaters was dry, or at least a great measure drier than the old ME. It was a very competitive slalom tandem that was tough to beat, as well as a solo big-water boat for the larger and stronger paddlers, and a solo whitewater tripper that you could fill with gear.
