Wenonah J-193

The We-no-nah J-193 is designed for paddlers of moderate size, or for lighter paddlers looking for a good combination of speed and stability. The J-193 was designed to be the sister of the J-203 that came out in the year of 2000 for the 18'6" C-1 racers. The J-193’s eighteen foot length gives it exceptional tracking ability combined with the blazing speed that Gene Jensen’s designs are famous for. Yet the 193 is maneuverable enough to handle the various wake riding and sprinting situations that you’ll encounter during a race.

Ultra-light hulls are stiff and incredibly light. They are ideal for speed and distance paddling and for all people or conditions that demand the lightest gear. In our Ultra-light construction a structural-foam core and ribs are laminated into the hull and sides. We also add extra fabric layers to strengthen specific targeted areas. Aluminum plates are strategically laminated into the hull. Seats, footbraces, and all hardware is then riveted into these plates. This gives a very secure connection and eliminates rivet heads on the exterior. Aramid, the fiber used for aerospace, body armor and bulletproof vests, is amazingly light and strong. We've used it for more than 30 years to construct extremely light and tough canoes. Wenonah Canoe is the worlds largest maker of canoes using Aramid.
