A benchmark for downriver canoes, the Legend 16's shallow arch, Royalex® by Spartech® hull and moderate rocker make this canoe durable, nimble and responsive on twisty rivers, yet respectable on open waters. It is also stable enough for learning whitewater paddling but challenging enough to help more experienced paddlers continue developing their skills.
Designed to repel wave and splash to keep the interior dry, it also has the capacity for extended, mixed-water trips. The Legend 16 maintains quality performance whether loaded or empty, making it a superior choice for whitewater expeditions.

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.

Royalex® by Spartech® is a vacuum-formed sheet laminate consisting of external vinyl layers enclosing multiple ABS plastic layers and a foam core. Each sheet is designed specifically for the intended use of that canoe. All combinations are durable and moderately light-weight. It is resistant to impact, yet has "memory" that allows it to absorb impact and return to original form. Royalex® by Spartech® is repairable should the worst-case scenario ever occur.
