Fiberglass KiJik Canoe

 In the world of canoes, “Composites” means fibers formed in a mold and bonded with resins to make a hull. Any marriage of fibers and resin is a composite, but the most well known material is “fiberglass”. The term “fiberglass composites” is often incorrectly applied to all composite hulls; true fiberglass composites are several layers of strategically cut, woven fabrics with fiberglass and resin, carefully crafted by hand.

Kijik Fiberglass canoes are light, rigid and strong. When compared to other materials, they can be shaped making cleaner entry lines, resulting in an efficient and quiet ride. Canoes made of fiberglass are easy to repair; a properly applied patch is hardly noticeable. Our Kijik fiberglass canoes are modeled with ash and black cherry trim.
