MRC 40th Anniversary Explorer

Jun 02, 2011

Forty years ago, in a small workshop on a picturesque hill in Vermont, a tradition of innovation and craftsmanship was born in Mad River Canoe.  In celebration of our 40th Anniversary, we're offering a limited-time special edition of one of our most revered classics: the Explorer Kevlar.  

Hearkening back to aesthetics from limited editions long passed, the 40th Anniversary hull is two-toned red and white with elegantly stained slotted gunwales and contoured cane seats and yoke. The quick, efficient Explorer Kevlar is a rare hull design that can satisfy the most discerning paddler but also welcomes the developing canoeist – a combination as unique as the company itself. The original ‘rabbit with a habit' icon proudly adorns the bow of our 40th Anniversary celebratory canoe, leading Mad River Canoe into the future with a throwback to our roots.



MSRP: $2999
