WHAT THEY SAY

Mac McCarthy has a mission. His desire is to open our eyes to the natural beauty around us. See the elegance of nature, he says: see it in an elegant boat, built by ourselves. He has made the construction of featherweight boats accessible to everyone.

I find the Wee Lassie a delight to paddle. Plus, my wife is really pleased to finally have a boat she can car top herself.

THE COLLECTION

Absolutely Stunning Canoe Design & Functionality

THE WEE LASSIE

A simple yet elegant solo canoe, the Wee Lassie is strong, yet lightweight and will paddle just about anywhere.

THE WEE LASSIE 2

Longer than the Wee Lassie, the Wee Lassie 2 is ideal for the taller or heavier paddler, or for someone who needs more room for gear.

THE BIG MAC

This is a good looking, versatile canoe for the paddler over 200 lbs. It is also large enough to be set up with two conventional seats.

THE SAIRY GAMP

Ideally suited for a child, teen or small adult, the Feather Canoe Sairy Gamp has a 9′ long hull and weighs in at 15-20 lbs.
