New prototype Swift Cruiser 17.8

Hi guys,

Not sure this has been posted before but just came across this video for the new swift cruiser 17’ 8” prototype …David Yost shares some design insights, most notably that the boat is 2.5” narrower than the cruiser 16 8….anyway just thought some might be interested.

Thanks for that video, Moonman. Two high performance paddlers say the Cruiser 17.8 will be a great racing canoe as well as a seaworthy one, unlike many marathon canoes. If I had to do one thing over, I would have spent more time exploring flat water racing when I was young.
