VOYAGEUR! The name that was given the early explorers of our inland lakes and waterways brings forth a picture of intrepid wanderers who pushed the boundaries of our land westward in the 1600’s. No doubt the shades of Joliet, LaSalle, Champlain and Marquette are amazed by the developments along the free-flowing waters they first traveled. Many of the mighty rivers have been tamed by locked dams, and thousands of miles of new waterways exist where present-day yachtsmen enjoy speeds and comforts undreamed of by those doughty paddlers of birchbark canoes. And so, to continue the progress, here is a new design for today’s boating enthusiast. Voyageur is a lot of ideas rolled into one smallish package. It is family boating; it is leisurely cruising; it is comfort afloat, with economy of construction, It can be a plain craft of easy upkeep, or it can be built in the tradition of varnish and polished metal, to suit the tastes of the builder or owner.
