Clipper Spirit Dancer 39' Fiberglass Description
The Spirit Dancer measures just over 39 feet in length and accommodates 16-18 paddlers. While it mirrors the aesthetic of traditional wooden dugout canoes, it boasts a significantly more stable hull design, making it perfect for extended ocean journeys.
Unlike traditional canoes crafted from cedar logs, which often featured much rounder hulls, the Spirit Dancer’s elongated waterline enhances its tracking capabilities, yet it retains enough rocker to ensure easy maneuverability. These attributes are particularly beneficial for coastal trips.
Weighing approximately 30% less than a similar-sized wooden canoe built traditionally, the Spirit Dancer is constructed from hand-laid fiberglass and fortified with Kevlar in high-stress and wear areas.
This canoe is equipped with 9 seats, plus an elevated stern seat, allowing for up to 18 paddlers and additional passengers. For greater gear accommodation, consider opting for removable center seats—please mention this preference when ordering. Other standout features include a marine-grade structural foam core floor for increased rigidity, ample positive flotation, and low-maintenance gunnels, all designed to maximize your time on the water.
