Default Which canoe is faster in the real world

I can't comment on the specific boats Herb asked about, but John Winters
designed several tripping canoes for Swift. They were designed for good
handling in all conditions, but also for fair speed under recreational paddling
efforts. There is some info on the Swift site, and John's (Redwing Designs) if
it is still up. A search should find a bit of discussion here or elsewhere.

I have one of his (Swift Winisk - 17ft 6in) and it seems fairly speedy, but we
are lazy cruisers and rarely push it, or care.
