The Caption is the much-celebrated benchmark for tandem, open canoe, whitewater playboats. It's ideal for aggressive paddlers who love challenging whitewater runs.
The Royalex® by Spartech® hull meets the demands of aggressive river features, and the adept design is fully at home in unrelenting rock garden slaloms as well as classic pool/drop descents.

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.

WoodTo many, there's nothing as classic as wooden gunwales, or the proven workmanship of these on a Mad River hull. Crafted of native white ash specially selected for long, straight, tight grain providing strength, stiffness, and a touch of flex. Periodic maintenance required. * Image shows wood gunwale with composite hull.

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.
