Tupper

Rob and Amy Scharges had a vision of reviving the art of canoe building in Vermont's Mad River Valley, former home of Mad River Canoe where Rob had been a regional sales representative. In a barn just 150 yards from the Mad River, the couple established Vermont Canoe & Kayak in 2003, enlisting veteran canoe craftsmen Greg Wagner and Jacob White-Rogers to oversee production. The first model, the 16-foot Encore, hit the icy waters of the Mad in March 2004. Vermont Canoe has introduced two new models for 2006, the Tupper, an Adirondack-style pack boat, and the Sokoki, a beamy sport canoe designed by Jim Henry.

In the all new Tupper, classic Adirondack packboat design meets durable, lightweight Kevlar construction. Seaworthy and easy to handle, this 25 lb. solo canoe carries an incredible 550 lbs. The perfect choice for lake-to-lake expeditions that call for portaging, the 12' 9" Tupper features a rounded vee hull,an asymmetrical profile, and a bow-to-stern flare for dryness. The seat is mounted close to the floor for stability. An adjustable back band and foot braces optimize performance and comfort.      Grab a double paddle, toss the Tupper over your shoulder and go!
