Have not long come back from a Woodlore Canoeing Course in the Ardeche with Andrew (Sandbender) I decided to buy a canoe.
Easy you would think!! Not so if you want a Mad River Explorer 15 RX with Wood gunwales in green. Having used one in France and becoming hooked on open canoeing only this model will do for me.
Anyway the point being if you are interested in this model with those specs you will need to order it now as they have to be made to order and shipped from the US delivery date of July/Aug.The ISO container is nearly full for the UK supplier. The next delivery date would be in late Sept. There seems to be only two orders a year. Also Mad River have no stock and are running 24/7 to make to order.
It seems that this year there has been a 60% increase in orders for the Explorer 15RX especially after Ray Goodwin and Ray Mears were televised paddling these canoes. There are now no more Green ones in the country.
The Wood in green is a special order generally so if you want that there will be a wait but if you don't mind it in Red or with plastic gunwales or IQ2 system then you can have one straight away.

P.S If you are interested in one PM me and I will give you the details where Andrew and I ordered ours as they did a very good deal for us.
