How very Victorian
! I never heard of
Olde Town canoes, and perhaps I've missed something. However, I grew up 4 miles down river from Old Town, Maine, and we own 4 Old Town Loon kayaks and a 15' Old Town canoe.
Actually, if you happen to be able to visit the Old Town factory (I know, why would anyone be in Old Town?), you can get some fantastic deals in their "seconds" shop. They are really fastidious about their products, and almost any imperfections will get you a very significant discount. Example? A blue Loon kayak, with an inadvertent touch of air-brush white paint (from finishing an adjacent kayak?) Or a Loon kayak with a small blob of epoxy dropped on the floor. Both about 50% off. Considering the cost and quality of Old Town stuff, this is significant.
But don't let them hear you call them "Olde Town"!
