DESCRIPTION

The Draco was designed for calm water to small surf conditions, as well as emerging paddling communities.

“We set out with a clear intention to better serve calm water markets…As we began conceptualizing the design we noticed an increase of OC1 participation from the dragon boat community due to the pandemic.  With that in mind, we designed different features and benefits to cater to this unique dragon boat community, in addition to our initial goals.”

Notes

• The Draco is not a replacement for the Ares. The Ares was designed as an all-around canoe and the Draco was designed from scratch (hand-shaped from foam) as a calm water canoe.
• Pronounced drā·kō  – (Drey-koh)
• The Draco is also available as a Pro Model, eliminating 2-3 lbs | 1-1.3 kilo in weight. The Draco Pro logos, cockpit, and ama can be customized color, however, no graphics or color changes to the hull.

FEATURES

RIGGING – The ama can be rigged on either side of the canoe to accommodate Dragon Boat time trials and more. Paddlers will have the option to rig their canoe on whichever side they prefer based on paddling style and level (i.e. beginner paddler leaning more toward the ama for stability or a more agile paddler looking to lean away from the ama for better speed).

In addition, the Draco will have the versatility to rig with an ama on both sides simultaneously.
(*Editors note: Draco Double Ama is still in development. See Add-on – Draco Double Ama below)

VOLUME – The Draco is a low-volume canoe.

ROCKER – Reduced rocker for lakes, rivers, and light downwind conditions.

WEIGHT – Aesthetics and features were simplified to keep the canoe as light as possible.
