The V-1 has a slight V on the bottom. It is generally the first choice of experienced paddlers who weigh 180 lbs or less.

Both tandem racing canoes feature a skin coat two layer Kevlar® construction. Foam ribs stiffen the sides and act as an anchor point for the seats. The bow seat is fastened to a full size bulkhead. Both models feature a center half size bulkhead for additional stiffness. Bulkheads are manufactured with a structural marine foam core which is covered with Kevlar® cloth. The gunnels are composed of a three-layer combination of spruce and cedar.

The bow and stern seats are a bucket-style made available standard in Kevlar®; both seats are adjustable. Lighter-weight carbon seats are also available as an optional upgrade (contact your dealer for pricing on this option). The stern seat can be unbolted and moved, so that there are two different positions that the slider will work from. This gives teams with a large weight difference between the two paddlers with an easy and effective method of trimming their canoe. The stern position features an adjustable footbrace, while a mini glassed-in bulkhead will provide the optimal position for the bow footpad.

An optional self-bailer will add approximately one pound to the overall weight of the package (contact your dealer for pricing on this option).

Tandem racing canoes are sometimes referred to as proboats or 3/27 marathon canoes. There are minimum height for bow, center, and stern. The 3″ waterline width must be at least 27″ wide. Clipper manufactures two Jensen proboat designs.
