Basswood Solo

If you’re not in a big hurry (and why should you be?), the Basswood Solo is the most stable of Wenonah solos and a fishing machine.

The ultimate backcountry fishing machine. The Basswood series offers massive stability and capacity and comes standard with Wenonah’s revolutionary VersiGunwale integrated gunwale track system. Offered exclusively in our proven ultralight aramid construction.

The Basswood Solo is a stable, lightweight tripping canoe that’s ready to outfit with your favorite fishing accessories. Standard VersiGunwales are compatible with a wide range of rod holders, fish finder mounts and kayak fishing accessories. The Basswood’s high volume and hull is comfortable for large loads and landing big fish solo.

More stable than the Wilderness and more maneuverable than longer solos like the Prism, the Basswood Solo is perfect for the serious wilderness angler and backcountry adventurer.

Build Options

Materials

Ultra-light w/ Aramid

Wenonah’s Ultra-light hulls are stiff and incredibly light. They are ideal for efficient distance paddling and for all people or conditions that demand the lightest gear. Our construction features a structural core and ribs laminated into the hull and sides. Extra fabric layers are then added to strengthen specific targeted areas.

Aluminum plates are strategically laminated into the hull, onto which seats, foot braces and all hardware are then riveted. This gives a highly secure connection and eliminates rivet heads on the exterior.

Gunwales

VersiGunwale

The VersiGunwale is a new, exciting option for all Wenonah composite canoes. The new VersiGunwale is slotted on the inner-facing side bow-to-stern to accept all common rail-mounted fishing and accessories. The VersiGunwale also brings additional strength and rigidity to the canoe with only a small weight increase.
