Downriver canoes are
constructed with closely spaced ribs and
higher bows and sterns. These canoes are often sold with
canvas coverings and are ideally suited for use in running water and rock-filled rivers,
however most canoes are available in either wood/canvas or wood/epoxy
hull finishes.
The choice of covering is something each owner must decide on for
themselves, and directly relates to the type of paddling that you intend
to do.
Generally, canvas coverings are better for boats
intended for use in running water, while epoxy is preferable for flat water conditions such as in lakes,
ponds and slow moving water.
