Colour

The Chestnut Canoe Company designed the Cronje to be a fast, reliable canoe for people who have a destination in mind. The design is rich in history and is a very able performer. Our reproduction of this venerable canoe retains both the paddling characteristics and the tradition of the original.

The Cronje is ideally suited to paddlers who want to challenge big, open water by covering distance with ease. Fast lines and excellent tracking make it a joy to use. Cargo capacity isn’t compromised for speed and the canoe handles well both with a load and empty. Its lower profile means less wind drag on the water and lower weight on the portage trail. The Cronje is most at home in landscapes with large open lakes like the famed Boundary Waters or Algonquin Park.

One word: Speed. If we want to haul some serious kilometers, the Cronje is our boat of choice. Fast, light and efficient, this canoe is ideal for paddling large open lakes or going the distance in an ultra marathon paddling race.

We love our Cronje. Trim is perfect when I paddle in the rear and my girlfriend and the dog ride up front.

I’m totally impressed with my boat, as is my canoeing partner, and anyone who happens to see it. When we landed at the French Lake takeout after a week in Quetico last September, the park warden was there.. He took pictures of my boat and then was kind enough to open the visitor’s center to let us see the Centennial Cronje you donated to the park.

The Cronje sheds the wind better than any tandem canoe I have used and tracks nicely with the speed sufficient to get our work done in a timely fashion. Sometimes we have to be somewhere fast and the Cronje gets that done better than any other canoe we have used. A very nice workhorse lake canoe with nice style making it fun to work in and with.
