Welcome to
THE NEXT BIG THING
Outrigger Canoes
At 19 feet 8.22 inches long, this canoe fits in most garages and is easier to maneuver.
Starting at just $3650, it is thousands less than other OC1s on the market making it easier to get into the sport and easier to upgrade.
Introducing the Nelo Excel 6.0 OC1
Designed by Evolution Canoe
Offered in 2 constructions:
WWR - Carbon Kevlar
SCS - Full Carbon
Design
The Excel 6.0 was designed with performance in mind. The shorter length than standard 21+ foot canoes offers the same waterline length by keeping the bow and stern in the water. This gives it strong flat water speed while making it more maneuverable on waves in downwind conditions. Custom color options and designs available.
Measurements
Like all Nelo craft, the number in the model name refers to metric length: 6.0 meters. For those of us in America, that is 19 feet 8.22 inches to be exact. The width of the canoe is 0.4 meters which is 15.75 inches.
