Venture Ranger 162 Canoe

Ranger 162

A firm favourite with families and hirers alike, the Venture Ranger is stable, highly versatile, and supremely hard wearing. Ideal for groups and hirers and schools.

Whatever your skill level, the Ranger won’t disappoint; its relatively flat hull is remarkably stable whether loaded or bare and allows beginners to progress with confidence or intermediates to push their limits and reach the next level, and thanks to the low profile design you won’t have to fight to stay on course if the wind picks up.

Enjoy a trip down a gentle river, take on some whitewater, pootle around a calm lake with the kids or even raft two Rangers together, load them up, and head off on an epic adventure.

Available with 2 different seat options Rotomoulded Plastic Tank seats for less maintenance in the long term or webbing and wood. This is the webbing and wood version

Specs

CoreLite^TM

Corelite is a triple layer, polyethylene foam sandwich material for a great stiffness to weight ratio with tried and tested durability.

Recessed Gunwales Features

The “bump-bump-bump” of sliding an open canoe onto a trailer, a roof rack, a storage rack, or another craft is something many freelance paddlesports guides, instructors, and coaches will be all-too-familiar with – you can probably feel it in your arms as you read this. But no more! Our recessed gunwales do away with that inconvenience you’ve learned to suffer, and make it SO much easier to load and unload open canoes, as well as preventing fittings being shaken loose, and bolts, paddle shafts, fingers, or other craft being damaged. It’s one of those little things that make a huge difference.

Standard Spec Features

Contoured Carrying Yoke

Fitted balanced, oiled to match the seats and shaped for comfortable shoulder carrying. The yoke also provides rigidity to the boat’s shell.

Durable, Moulded End Decks

Integrated, ergonomically shaped handle for comfortable carrying. The one piece end deck provides protection and strength to the bow and stern.

Heavy Duty Alloy Seat Hangers

Strong enough to cope with the excited wriggles of generations of new canoeists, and the demands of all shapes and sizes of paddlers. Can be reversed for an angled kneeling seat.

Tough Vinyl Gunwales

Scratch resistant and highly resilient to the forces exerted on gunwales.

Varnished Wood Web Seats

Not just an optional upgrade, these durable and attractive seats come as standard on all Venture Canoes.
