Ally 811 Folding Canoes for Sale
We have a few Norwegian-made Ally folding canoes for sale. These boats are very slightly used, still the finest quality folding canoe on the market. The Ally 811 is the classic wilderness tripping boat, 16.5 feet long, capable of carrying a heavy load. You can take it on an airline anywhere in the world, and run flatwater or Class IV whitewater. These are the best-made folding canoes in the world. Boats do not come with a portage pack. These are available separately. Spray skirts can also be ordered separately.
ALLY, the foldable canoe, has an interlocking framework of tubular aluminium stays and ribs held together with spring loaded shock-cords making the canoe easy and quickly to assemble.At the bottom, between the framework and the reinforced PVC-skin, there is a closed cell foam mat that insulates, provides flotation, and provides the added safety of a double bottom. At the same time it provides shock absorbency from impact from items under water. The canoe?s flexibility allows it to ride over waves rather than crash into them. Its flexibility also makes encounters with underwater rocks a much less harrowing experience than when riding in a canoe of fiberglass. The reinforced skin is sewn and welded to achieve extra strength. The anatomic seats' position may be adjusted to trim the canoe. It features a reinforced bottom which gives extra safety when paddling on rocky rivers.
PRICE $1950 with portage pack including shipping anywhere in US (We will ship to Canada for slightly more). If you do not want the portage pack, the price is $1750.

- You can store it folded when not in use.

- The low weight makes it easy to carry for short distances.
- The skin is easy to repair if damage occurs.
- Ally has high load carrying capacity.
- This makes it suitable also as a family canoe.
- It is easy to transport on trains, busses, and in the trunk of a small car. The ALLY folding canoe can also be transported inside a bush plane.
- Its flexibility allows it to ride on top of waves rather than crash into them, an especially useful feature when canoeing white water or big lakes with chop, or white cap conditions.
- The canoe?s flexibility allows it to glide over and by rocks without sustaining damage.
- The anatomic seats are fore- and aft-adjustable so that the rocker can be trimmed by body positioning and by baggage placement.
