Key Features
Revolutionary Drop Stitch Construction
Experience the pinnacle of innovation with the Sea Eagle TC16K_STW, the world's first patented high-pressure all-drop-stitch inflatable travel canoe. Unlike traditional canoes, the TC16 breaks barriers in terms of weight, stability, and portability. The flat three-inch-thick high-pressure (up to 10 psi) side and floor chambers create a narrow, rigid, and incredibly spacious canoe. This unique construction system allows us to redefine the traditional canoe in an inflatable form, providing unparalleled benefits without compromising paddling performance. The TC16 sets a new standard with U.S. Patent 9,452,809.
Safer with Inherent Buoyancy
Safety takes center stage with the Travel Canoe's inherent buoyancy. Unlike rigid canoes, the TC16 gains added buoyancy from the inflatable air chambers in the floor and sides, ensuring it remains afloat according to specifications. Load it with supplies, and the canoe retains maneuverability, making it safer in whitewater rapids up to Class IV. The Travel Canoe is not just a vessel; it's a reliable companion on every water adventure.
Double Chine System for Triple Stability and Improved Tracking
Stability reaches new heights with the Travel Canoe's double chine system, offering not just one or two but three forms of stability. The two distinct chines along with the flat bottom contribute to stability, speed, and tracking. The primary stability comes from the flat bottom, secondary stability from the first chine formed where the drop-stitch inflatable floor meets the side walls, and additional stability from the second chine, formed by the angle of the drop-stitch inflatable side walls. This design ensures a stable and secure ride for every paddler.
Bow and Stern Molds with Removable Skeg for Speed and Tracking
Feel the power of speed and efficiency with the Travel Canoe's bow and stern molds, cutting through wind, water, waves, and current. These molds create lift, reduce drag and friction, enhancing overall performance. Adding to this, the large removable rear skeg further improves speed and tracking by reducing the natural yaw of the canoe. Whether navigating open water or conquering whitewater rapids, the TC16 adapts to your every adventure.
Diamond Deck Pads for Secure Footing
Safety meets comfort with diamond-pattern anti-skid EVA foam decking. Designed for secure footing when getting in and out of the Travel Canoe, these deck pads make it safer for activities like fishing and casting. Additionally, d-rings have been strategically placed to secure optional drop-stitch inflatable seats, offering maximum adjustability for one, two, or three paddlers.
Portable Powerhouse - Packs into a Bag and Fits in a Small Car Trunk
Experience the freedom of exploration with the Travel Canoe, 33% lighter than traditional rigid canoes of the same class. Deflating and packing down to a mere 1/4 of its inflated size, this canoe easily fits into the smallest car trunks, ensuring convenient storage and transport. Say goodbye to the limitations of traditional canoes and embrace the TC16 for a new era in canoeing.
