WWe
named the Nipmuc and Abenaki in honor of the Native
Americans who once paddled and fished the inland waters
of southern New England. They are loosely based on old
Maine canoe designs with traditional re-curved stems
and slightly flatter bottoms than the old designs originating
in Canada for greater initial stability. One can imagine
these canoes packed with a week’s gear for the
ultimate paddling adventure.
Formerly
named the Abenaki 17', the Nipmuc has better straight
line tracking, while the Abenaki features more rocker,
making it more maneuverable. Both canoes are fairly
beamy with a large capacity and good stability.

All
of our kits are created as we get orders. Please email
us (info@newfound.com) with your name,
address, telephone
number, and shipping address (if different) and we
will email a quote that includes packaging and shipping
costs.A "kit" can include everything or just certain
items. If you just want strips, email us with the
pertinent name and address, the design you are building
and we will email a quote. We mill all of our strips
here at our facility in New Hampshire to the highest
standards after air drying the cedar.If you pick up
at our shop, of course there is no shipping charge.
We will shrink wrap your materials so that they are
impervious to the weather. A kit can be picked up
with a vehicle that you would normally use to transport
your canoe or kayak.
