Basically, the same dimensions as the original but Souris River has removed a seat and placed the solo seat more towards the middle. The original was used often as a solo and this model should be even better!
The Canak by Wenonah - with a hull shape similar to that of our most popular solo canoe the Prism, the new Wenonah Canak is great for solo lake camping when the capacity and portability of a canoe is needed, and the touring ability of a kayak is desired.

The floor mounted sliding seat and adjustable kayak style foot braces make this boat as comfortable as any large cockpit kayak.
