Class V twister.

Post by Wodza »

I'm starting to look around for a slalom canoe, was watching some footage last night of a mad river twister and it looks like a fun boat. Checked the boats library and it says it's still made by Class V, however I can't find any info on Class V do they exist still? Also, other than millbrook boats any suggestions for manufacturers of slalom canoes? I'm 6'4" and range from 200lbs to 230lbs most often around 210lbs.

Class V does still exist, and Vicktor pops in and posts here now and again.

Given your location though, and shipping, I'd call Kaz (Millbrook)... who knows what old molds he has kicking around:)

Great thanks. Just out of curiosity where is Vicktor located?
Most likely will end up with a boat built by Kaz but want to know my options first.

We do have a Twister mold, I've been trying to find Dave Paton to get permission to build them.
Does any one know how to contact him? Tried Clark outdoors , but no joy.
Thanks

Mark Clarke is the co-designer. You should be able to find him at Clarke Outdoors.
