Dagger Green Boat
The Green Boat is named for the Green River and the Green Race which takes place annually in Western North Carolina. This year's race will take place Saturday November 5, 2011, and the Green Boat has been designed specifically to carry boaters to a swift finish. Just ask Andrew Holcombe, Team Dagger athlete, who currently holds the Green Race record while paddling the Green Boat! In addition to being the ideal Green Race boat, the Green Boat is a notably large white-water boat. It is the only racing white-water creek-style boat currently produced. The Green Boat is roomy, fast, forgiving and is big enough for multi-day white-water trips. In addition, it comes in green AND red! Click here to see all Dagger boats!
NATIVE WATERCRAFT ULTIMATE 12
The Ultimate 12, proudly made in North Carolina, is a great, stable cross between a canoe and a kayak. It offers the high deck and dryness of a canoe with the portability of a kayak. The Ultimate 12's double concave hull design allows stability whether the paddler is standing or sitting, and the raised seat allows for ease in transition from a seated to a standing position. In addition, the Ultimate Seat is the most comfortable seat in the paddling industry.
Ultimates are outfitted with Adapt-a-Track, a unique channel that is installed around the exterior of the hull. This channel can be utilized to attach a wide variety of accessories, via molded clips of different lengths and snap in, easily. Adapt-a-Track accessories include 5 sizes of spray skirts to keep paddler warm and dry.
Ultimates are offered in two materials: polyethylene or Tegris which is extremely light-weight.
