Bergans® Ally 18 Folding canoe

Ally folding canoes from the Norwegian company Bergans continue a long tradition of manufacturing outdoor equipment. They are part of the all-round series, i.e. universal canoes, which you can recognize by their typical features, such as the slightly curved line of the keel or the high and curved bow and stern. The vessel boasts excellent stability and maneuverability and a very decent carrying capacity.

Mainly for calm water

Unlike its smaller siblings (Ally 15 and Ally 16.5), this variant is primarily intended for calm water, but you can also use it on wild rivers of medium technical difficulty. It will be appreciated by enthusiasts of both multi-day expeditions and trips of several hours.

Great maneuverability

The Ally 18 canoe, like the other canoes of the Ally series, is excellently manoeuvrable. In this case, it is mainly useful when paddling in calm water, but you can also handle easier sections of rivers with it. Exceptional stability is ensured by the so-called tumblehome shape, which means that the boat narrows from the bottom upwards.

Also suitable for families

Thanks to its length, the Ally 18 canoe can have a wider and flatter bottom than two smaller boats, so of course it can accommodate more crew and cargo. These are primarily canoes for those who want to carry a lot of equipment - for example to an island or across a wide river. The Ally 18 can comfortably accommodate 3-4 adults including luggage.

Versatile

Despite its size, the Bergans Ally 18 canoe is quite light, so you can use it wherever you have to count on carrying the boat. It will certainly be useful for fishermen, but sportsmen who want a universal canoe that would also be suitable as a training boat for calmer waters of ponds or slower flowing rivers will also come in handy.

High durability and minimal resistance

Compared to standard inflatable canoes, the Bergans Ally range is more resistant to damage. In the event that damage does occur, you will receive a basic service kit, namely glue and patches, as equipment for the boat. Bergans Ally boats (again compared to inflatable canoes) have less resistance to the water, so sailing them is less strenuous.

The canoe is delivered disassembled

Bergans Ally series canoes are delivered in a disassembled state, but don't worry, assembly and disassembly is really intuitive and very easy. Dismantled boats take up less space, which will be appreciated by both - the courier service employees and you yourself when you are looking for a place in the car on the way to the water. The package includes the boat itself, two seats with holders, a rubber mallet and the already mentioned service kit.
