The revolutionary Sportspal didn’t just happen by. A long process of development, experience, and good engineering produced a craft truly ‘Born of Canadian Waters’. Since it’s humble beginnings in a small Northern Ontario garage, the Sportspal Canoe has grown to become a Canadian icon. With continued hard work over the last 60 years to develop the canoe, it has now become one of Canada’s most recognizable watercraft which now has a global customer base. This was the beginning of the journey for the now legendary Sportspal Canoe. The light weight Sportsmen’s Canoe has gone on to be used around the world by thousands of enthusiasts. Originally built in 12’ and 14’ Pointed models in two colours, there are now 8 models with five colour options. Sportspal canoes are hand crafted from light gauge marine aluminum which withstands the normal use and abuse by Sportsmen but is still easy for Grandpa to load onto his vehicle. With a 38” beam and a 13” depth the 12’ Pointed weighing in at 34 lbs. is a great canoe for fishing, hunting or cruising the shoreline of your favourite lake or stream. Built to last decades the Sportspal Canoe will really become one of your best pals when you take to the water no matter what you use it for. It is a true honour to carry on the legacy of the Sportspal Canoe. If you should decide to purchase a Sportspal Canoe, thank you very much. Our canoe and our company will not let you down. Sincerely, Carl Crewson |

Lightweight | Durable | Impact Resistant | Aluminum |
Aluminum's light weight means more GO with less PUSH. Canoes are easy to paddle, carry and handle better on car tops, towing and launching. | High tensile strengths and stiffness means excellent hull integrity, long lasting durability, and high strength-to-weight ratio. | Elasticity of the metal due to it's 2.5% magnesium content reduce chances of puncturing. Underwater objects frequently only dent rather than puncture the hull. | 5052 marine aluminum will not become brittle, delaminate, peel, waterlog, check, rot or swell. It assures uniform thickness of hull sections. |
