jay kay Posted September 14, 2011 Report Posted September 14, 2011 Does anyone know what Poole Canoes are like? Selling mr Sib and thinking about one. Cheers Jon Quote
TomBettle Posted September 14, 2011 Report Posted September 14, 2011 You wouldn't want to go out of the harbour in it. Quote
Brian Posted September 14, 2011 Report Posted September 14, 2011 You wouldn't want to go out of the harbour in it. I'll second that. They're flat bottomed designed for use over the mud flats. Quote

Great for netting mullet and possibly sneaking in to creeks at low water. Wouldn't even want to be in the harbour in other than calm conditions. Quote
Wedger Posted September 15, 2011 Report Posted September 15, 2011 They make a lovely garden feature........ Quote
Maverick Martin Posted September 15, 2011 Report Posted September 15, 2011 Poole canoes as said above are not really suitable for outside the harbour although I used to have an 18 footer and we used to take it out as far as Poole Patch. The thing to watch with them is 1 the free board as most have very low free board and 2 following seas (read as ripples) as anything from the rear will bury the nose. If you are only going to use it in the harbour then they are more than suitable especially for getting into the shallows after flounder and the like. For anything else there are far more suitable angling boats out there that are not to expensive Martin Quote
Brian Posted September 15, 2011 Report Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) What about Rory's Explorer "Kingfisher"? Edited September 15, 2011 by Brian Quote
jay kay Posted September 15, 2011 Author Report Posted September 15, 2011 Rory's Boat would be ideal but more than i could justify spending at the moment! Sound like a Canoe would be a bad idea though, i might keep my Sib untill iv saved some more money. Cheers Guys Quote
