With all the downriver capability of its bigger sibling, the Legend 15 is better suited for tighter, more technical rivers and for switching between solo and tandem paddling. Capable of navigating class II-III rapids, it is nimble and responsive on rocky rivers and coastal bayous.
Being stable, light-weight and compact, it is popular among smaller tandem paddlers as well as solo paddlers, from whitewater enthusiasts to sportsmen looking for a stable platform from which to fish remote waters. The standard seating system allows the paddler to simply reverse the hull and paddle “backwards” to switch into a solo paddling position. The shallow arch hull and moderate rocker of this canoe allow for effortless exploration and unpredictable discoveries along the river.

Vinyl

VinylNEW for 2011, Mad River Canoes' vinyl gunwale features a box-style construction that encloses a "L" shaped aluminum extrusion. The internal extrusion provides the strength to support seats, thwarts, and yokes while the vinyl exterior shrugs off bumps and impacts. A "bulbed" outwale deflects wash and spray away from hull for drier paddling.
