The 17-foot Jensen Recreation is the lightest tandem Jensen cruising canoe. At 46 pounds in ultralight, it is stable, and makes an excellent boat for the beginner day tripper. Paddlers of all skill levels will appreciate the ease of paddling and the straight tracking quality.
Eugene Jensen designed this canoe for the average paddler. It suits short outings, weekend trips, and amateur racing. Its weight and good stability make it ideal for older paddlers, while its narrow width makes it a natural choice for smaller tandem paddlers. The seats are positioned low so that even the inexperienced will feel comfortable and stable. Excellent performance, light weight, excellent stability, and excellent value. The 17-foot Jensen has become the standard adventure racing canoe in Manitoba, and will be the prominent canoe at the Canadian Nationals.

- Ultralight Kevlar Construction | Ultralight Kevlar® canoes are built without any exterior gelcoat, thus the hull has the ‘honey’ color of Kevlar®. The absence of gelcoat results in a weight savings of approximately 10%. The first layer is woven S-glass which is very abrasion resistant and is stronger under compression than Kevlar®. Two layers of Kevlar® are then applied with extra reinforcement in areas of high stress
