Choose the Cygnus if you want the lightest possible canoe, or you primarily use your canoe for day trips / lighter loads, or mixed solo-tandem use.
The Cygnus is our best model for mixed use tandem or solo paddling. At 16 feet, the versatile Cygnus is small, light and maneuverable, while maintaining good glide. Cygnus is surprisingly fast for a smaller canoe. Cygnus can be configured with two or three seats (center seat for solo paddling or a small passenger traveling with two adults). The 2-seat Cygnus can also be be solo paddled from the front seat facing backwards. Max recommended load, 550 lbs. Gunwale width is 31".
