Shearwater is a fully developed decked sailing canoe designed for Adventure Sailing. The original Shearwater was introduced in 2006 and it soon became our most popular sailing canoe. Since then we have done much development work on it, so much so that it became known as the Evolution. Since the original, we have increased the freeboard, especially at the bow, given it a crowned deck and smaller cockpit all adding to the seaworthiness.
