The Huron 16 is ideal for cottagers and recreational canoeists who want a rugged canoe for paddling on calm bodies of water and small rivers but who don’t need the depth and capacity of the Prospecteur 16. The Huron 16 is pulled from the same mold as the Prospecteur 16 but we trim it down to 12.5”, as opposed to 14.5”. The lower profile reduces the weight and makes it easy to paddle in breezy conditions as either a solo or tandem.

T-Formex Lite is the latest iteration of Esquif's T-Formex, which optimizes the placement of the material to be thicker in the places that need it, while saving weight in the places that don't. They do this without a large sacrifice to durability, and make the boats about 20% lighter.
