Available Colours
Muskoka 15’9″
The Muskoka offers a great combination of a large capacity, a high final stability, and volume that gives the paddler a real sense of seaworthiness. The most important benefit of this hull is unrivalled speed. Even on the largest lakes, it’s manageable size, and purposeful shape make it a very fast yet stable canoe. Whether the use is occasionally tandem or more predominantly solo, paddling the Muskoka is an effortless exercise. Having a similar profile to that of the Nahanni, the Muskoka couples a performance tripping design to a perfect dual purpose asymmetrical hull allowing it to work equally well solo or tandem. The paddler looking for an asymmetrical canoe under 16 should not overlook this canoe.

Nahanni 16’5″
Travel far and fast with the Nahanni 16’ 5″. Its asymmetrical hull slips across the water and accelerates quickly thanks to greater glide and efficiency than a symmetrical canoe. The hull depth, swept gunwale and integrated spray rail provide reliable stability on open or rough waters allowing the Nahanni to meet the demands of the most serious interior trippers. This is the only 16 foot asymmetrical capable of backing the title of a “Lake Boat”. Langford better prepares the paddler for the worst conditions, even with a full capacity load, one can watch water literally peel away from the hull thanks to the pronounced integrated “Spray Rail” that is moulded directly into the hull, the swept gunwales and shallow draft hull design. The Langford Nahanni has been engineered to offer the highest functional capacity limit of any asymmetrical canoe in it’s class. This lightweight, efficient workhorse is a true performance tripper for your next wilderness trip.

Northwind 17’10″
The Northwind is the canoe for the tripper looking to go on extended trips or who likes to travel “loaded” yet expects to be able to cover water quickly regardless of weather condition. The Northwind will accelerate like the Nahanni but a full foot of extra length offers a larger capacity, exceptional efficiency and truly phenomenal tracking, simply point and shoot. The extra length found in the Northwind and the same pronounced “Spray Rail” shared by many of our other models makes an already seaworthy design, all the more so. The choice of serious wilderness explorers, the Northwind can accommodate huge loads and 3 adults on interior wilderness expeditions, but is still versatile enough for a family trip in the park. Unmatched volume, water shedding ability and hull durability, all are the hallmarks of a Langford.
