Memphremagog Canoe Posted by: mphelps3 on Feb-11-13 10:12 PM (EST) Category: Canoes
Anyone know anything about Memphremagog Canoe. It was a small custom Shop in Vermont. I am looking at a 18'6'and 32" at gunwales kevlar canoe that weights 46 lbs with wood trim. Very similar to a Jensen 18 or Wenonah Minnesota II. The guy who has it said he had it custom made in the 80's.
Mid 80's out of Newport VT. At that time a division of Newport Plastics but they started earlier down in Craftsbury VT. That one you are looking at sounds like the OC 2 Catamount designed for downriver racing.The had a OC 1 for downriver racing along with a OC1 and OC 2 designed for flatwater racing. They also offered a 16 ft Standard model. The hulls were designed by Ralph Vincent a top OC1 paddler at that time.
