A short, responsive, yet fast tandem that's solo friendly. The Escapade defines efficiency and superb performance in one compact package. We redesigned this one in 2009, reshaping the bow and stern to improve efficiency, and adding more tumblehome to make solo paddling easier. A good fit for smaller paddlers, those who pack light, and people who prefer a shorter canoe. At 16'6" you can add a center seat to make it a maneuverable solo, as this is the most friendly length to switch between solo and tandem paddling. Truly a superior hull design and a great paddling canoe. Compared to our Solo Plus design the Escapade is more stable and better suited to tandem paddling. If you'll paddle tandem most of the time, the Escapade is the right choice. If you're a solo paddler who occasionally likes to go out with a friend, you'll likely prefer the Solo Plus.
