Versatile, fast, stable, and comfortable. The Tripper was first introduced in the spring of 1983. In its first year of production, the Tripper became Clipper’s most popular model and has remained the number one canoe of choice for paddlers in the Northwest.


Versatility is perhaps the Tripper’s most popular feature. It is at home on large lakes, open ocean, or up to grade III white water. The Tripper holds the world record for the longest continual canoe trip from Calgary, AB to Belen, Brazil (read the article here). The Tripper is the only canoe to be paddled across Canada in one season during the C2C Expedition from the Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick to Vancouver, BC, in 1995 (read the article here).

The Tripper’s ample capacity will carry a family with kids or enough gear for an extended tandem wilderness trip. Its quick speed makes it a first choice for many races in the Northwest. Moderate rocker allows for quick maneuverability, yet a minimum of correction strokes are required to keep it on course. Paddle it with bent shaft paddles for maximum speed and efficiency.

The Tripper’s shallow arch hull provides good initial stability. Gently flared sides and relatively lowslung seats result in great secondary stability. Our specially molded seats are the most comfortable available.

The stern paddler is equipped with an adjustable footbrace, while the bow paddler can adjust the sliding bow seat and use the flotation tank as a footbrace. A footbrace will reduce lower back pain and shoulder stress and will eliminate the need to kneel, while at the same time increase your control of the canoe.

The fiberglass Tripper comes standard with Kevlar® reinforcing, anodized aluminum trim, plastic bucket seats, sliding bow seat, adjustable stern footbrace and portage yoke. Recommended optional accessories are a set of four foam thigh pads, a wilderness lash system for gear tie down and optional black aluminum trim. For wilderness tripping, a lace on spray skirt is available.

The Tripper garnered the most votes as the touring canoe the testers would buy on their own. Thanks to its solid performance, substantial volume, clean appearance, and moderate cost, the Tripper was paddled a lot. The Canadian-built Tripper turned well, and its final stability proved encouraging to novices. They discovered that its forgiving handling didn’t demand the sharpest paddling technique to extract what it had to give. An enthusiastic tester summary of the Tripper, “Its got everything…good speed, great stability, turns fine, tracks well, and you could haul a moose home…”
-Backpacker Magazine

 

Not only is this canoe deep and stable, but it’s fast . . . real fast for a 17 ½ footer. Maneuverability is exceptional, portaging easy, and if you’re a one-boat family bent on wilderness whitewater travel but still have a yen for a beafy security blanket, then check this baby out.

The layup of the Kevlar® foam core canoe supplied to us was excellent. Its first-rate finish work left no gelcoat voids, cloth wrinkles or tooling artifacts…Without gushing, let’s just say that the Tripper was one of the best-paddling, cruising-type canoes we’ve tried…In big lake swells and chop, the canoe performed flawlessly. Predictable handling, little tendency to broach in following seas and plenty dry, the Tripper won’t keep you windbound in much less than a gale.
–Tom Sebring, Canoe Magazine

 

We have owned our 17’6″ Tripper for 13 years. The problem for the manufactures is we still do not need a new one as the construction is very robust. We went with a Kevlar with gel coat assuming the gel coat would be more durable over repeated trips. This has been a good decision recognized we could have shaved a couple pounds. Most of its original use was on extended trips, however we have started to use it more recently for river races including the Ski to Sea in Bellingham. It is a quick boat and tracks very well for tripping, while having a little flare in the bow to stay dry in big waves and whitewater.

We have other canoes for specific purposes, but this canoe is with us for the long term as it does everything very well…and is exceptionally comfortable and stable.

I just got back from the first trip with the new canoe. What a great boat. So light on portages and held so much gear for a very luxurious trip. It was windy on a couple of days with sat least 2ft waves.  The bow person was out of the water on a couple of them.  I still can't figure out why ontarians still insist on a traditional prospector. We have so much more control with the lower seats, thigh pads and foot braces. I can't imagine paddling into to wind and waves kneeling. We encountered other people complaining about the severity of the lake, but we just kept going. Other canoers had so little freeboard that we worried about them. Its got some scratches, I'll be adding to those next week as I'm off to Algonquin Park.

Style and comfort doesn't always have to be expensive:
Size: 13, Color: Wingtip Black
I bought this ones mainly because I have used them before and they are great for dancing. Specially salsa dancing. They look really stylish with formal cloth. A great blend of classic "wing tip" with modern details and smooth lines. They fit nice with thin and medium socks and have medium arc support. They will feel better with each use and are very good for salsa ballroom dancing turns on the forefoot and ruber on the heel for safe stops and stability. They fit true to size and foot stays locked in place with the lacing it provides. Great presentation with the box and awsome price for great quality formal shoes.

Nice shoes for about a year and a half
Size: 13 Wide, Color: Brown, Size: 13 Wide, Color: Brown
I bought these shoes about a year and a half ago and they are comfortable and look much more expensive than they actually are. Today, I noticed them starting to tear a little bit, but if I can replace them every 18 months for this price, it is probably still a better value than high end shoes. The grip is good for dress shoes and has held up well, and they are a good fit that does not cause blisters from excessive rubbing. I might not choose these if I need to wear them every day because of their lifespan, but for a once or twice a week pair of dress shoes, they are a good value.
